By integrating AttendanceBot and Jira, you can record and monitor time spent on Jira projects and tasks from directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams. AttendanceBot will automatically identify when new projects or tasks are created in JIRA, and create corollary projects that relevant employees will see when they clock time to a project in Slack/Teams. 

To integrate your Jira account, please head to the integrations tab on the settings dashboard and select Jira. All you'll need to do is enter your API key and sub domain and we'll handle the rest!

(You can find your API key by opening your Jira account --> manage account --> security --> create and manage API tokens)

After integration is successful, you'll have a choice to link JIRA projects or tasks with AttendanceBot project or subproject levels to automatically create and assign projects/tasks to your employees. 

If a project/task is created in JIRA, it is captured by AttendanceBot and any relevant team member clocking time to projects will have the new project/task available to log time in Slack simply by being created in JIRA.

To record time, they'll simply type "in" as a DM to AttendanceBot and select the pre-populated project and tasklist they are working on. To switch projects/tasks, another simple "in" is all they need, and to punch out entirely just a quick "out". 

Note: If you can't find the JIRA tab on your AttendanceBot dashboard, write us a note and we're happy to activate!
