BeeWorkforce + Jira
Import Jira projects and issues as tasks, and send logged hours back as worklogs.
Bring Jira projects into BeeWorkforce so people can log time against the issues they're working on, then have those hours sent back to Jira as worklogs. Re-importing a project updates titles, statuses and due dates instead of creating duplicates. Worklogs are created by the Jira account you connect, and each worklog's comment names the person who logged the time.
What you can do
Import projects and issues
Pick a Jira project and its issues arrive as a BeeWorkforce project with tasks, including status, priority and due date.
Re-import to update
Import again at any time to refresh titles, statuses and due dates. Existing tasks are updated, not duplicated.
Hours sent as worklogs
Time logged on imported tasks is added to the matching Jira issue as a worklog. Edits and deletions are sent too, and entries moved between issues move in Jira.
Start from a date you choose
Only entries from your chosen start date on are sent, so switching it on doesn't flood Jira with old history.
Automatic, with Sync now
Hours are sent every few minutes once switched on. Sync now pushes immediately and shows what was added, updated or failed.
Clear failure reasons
If Jira refuses an entry, for example because an issue is closed, you see why and it's tried again later.
Set up Jira in a few minutes
- In Atlassian, create an API token for the account BeeWorkforce should use.
- Go to Settings → Integrations → Jira and enter your Jira site address, that account's email and the API token.
- Click Test connection, then Import projects and pick the projects you want.
- To send hours back, open Timesheet sync, choose a start date and turn it on.
- People log time on the imported tasks as usual; hours appear in Jira within a few minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Who shows as the author of the worklogs in Jira?
The Jira account you connected. A Jira API token can only act as one account, so each worklog's comment names the person who logged the time.
Does it work with Jira Server or Data Center?
It's built for Jira Cloud sites (your-company.atlassian.net).
What happens to time logged before I turned it on?
Entries before the start date you choose are never sent. You can pick an earlier date if you want past hours in Jira too.
Do changes in Jira come back to BeeWorkforce?
Issue titles, statuses and due dates update when you re-import a project. Worklogs are sent one way, from BeeWorkforce to Jira.
