Creating a Jira Ticket from WorkerB

After initially linking Jira to WorkerB, clicking the Edit or Create Ticket buttons from a WorkerB alert will automatically create a Jira ticket for this unlinked PR.

Create Ticket button: This will automatically generate a ticket using the information listed in your alert: Jira Project, Jira Issue Type, the Jira ticket Summary will be the name of the pull request.

Edit button: Clicking the edit button allows you to change the Project, Issue Type, and issue Summary of your Jira ticket before submitting.

Upon clicking either button, you'll receive a notification that a ticket was successfully created, including a link to the Jira ticket if you would like to add further information.

Connect WorkerB to your Jira account
