Connect Jira in Violet

1. In Violet (or VioletGov), navigate to Integrations and click to add a new integration.

2. Select Jira

[Optional] You can also provide a unique name for the connection based on the credentials you're using, and you can create restricted permissions to users or groups:

1. Enter your Jira URL, username and API token (create an Atlassian API Token here) and click Connect. IMPORTANT: Jira recently introduced Scopes for its tokens, which we do not yet support. You will need to create a token without Scopes. You'll be able to create a token with Scopes OR connect directly via OAuth in January 2026. Stay tuned!

2. Once connected, configure your integration (optional), then click Create. You're done!
