Jira Mapping

Link your Jira boards and tasks to your repositories to provide a structured context for every project change, feeding directly into your internal knowledge base software.

Project traceability

Jira integration provides the formal structure for Lem AI's institutional memory. By mapping tasks to updates, you create a perfect history:

  • Board linking: Sync your Jira boards to specific repositories for seamless information association.
  • Process guidance: Lem AI provides employee knowledge management tools that leverage project task data to help ensure that changes follow your organization's established standards.
  • Historical retrieval: Query project task descriptions and comments directly within the Lem AI search interface.

Setup instructions

1. Connect Atlassian

Go to Settings > Integrations and click Connect on the Jira card. Authenticate with your Atlassian account. The OAuth flow requires read access to Jira issues, projects, and user data; it does not grant Lem AI permission to modify your tickets or code.

2. Sync boards

Click Sync boards to fetch your Jira project boards. Lem AI will monitor these for task status changes and comments. Troubleshooting: If you experience duplicate loading states on the sync page, perform a hard refresh and ensure only one sync action is initiated at a time.

3. Map to Repositories

Navigate to a project detail page, click Connect Jira, and carefully select the corresponding boards. Accurate mapping ensures task data is associated with the correct project context, preventing "wrong user" data saving issues that can occur when global boards are mistakenly linked to unrelated repositories.

4. Configure Webhook

To capture real-time updates from Jira, you must configure a webhook:

  1. Get the webhook URL from the workspace/app you want Jira to send events to. (For Lem AI: https://api.getlem.ai/api/v1/webhooks/jira)
  2. Open Jira as an admin.
  3. Go to Settings > System.
  4. Under Advanced, click WebHooks.
  5. Click Create a WebHook.
  6. Add the following details:
    • Name: Lem AI Integration
    • Status: Enabled
    • URL: paste your workspace webhook URL
  7. Check all relevant events (Issue created, updated, deleted, and comments) and Save.

Automated task linking

Lem AI automatically detects task IDs in your code updates. Once detected, Lem AI fetches the task background and establishes a connection in your project history, linking the update to the original requirement and mapping corporate knowledge.

"Integration Note: Documentation spaces are also synced as part of the Jira connection, providing deep project search capabilities."
