OpenClaw + Jira Integration Guide — Connect Your AI Agent

Why Connect OpenClaw with Jira?

Jira is one of the most popular tools for project tracking and sprint management. By integrating OpenClaw with Jira, your AI agent can automatically interact with your Jira workspace — reading data, sending messages, and triggering actions without manual intervention.

What You Can Build

• Automated responses — Your AI agent monitors Jira and responds to messages, questions, or events automatically
• Data sync — Pull data from Jira into your agent's context for smarter decisions
• Notifications — Get AI-generated summaries and alerts in Jira
• Workflow triggers — Use Jira events to trigger complex AI workflows

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed on your server (Quick install guide)
• A Jira account with API access or webhook permissions
• Basic familiarity with OpenClaw configuration

Step 1: Configure OpenClaw Channel

OpenClaw supports Jira as a native channel. Add the Jira configuration to your OpenClaw config file:

channels:
  jira:
    enabled: true
    # Add your Jira credentials here

Step 2: Set Up Your Agent's Personality

Create a SOUL.md file that defines how your agent behaves in Jira. The personality should match the context — professional for work tools, friendly for community platforms.

Step 3: Test the Integration

Send a test message in Jira and verify your OpenClaw agent responds correctly. Check the OpenClaw logs for any connection issues.
