Jira Data Center integration

Overview​

The Jira Data Center integration enables you to use Faheem Code to automatically implement requirements from Jira tickets. When you create a ticket with clear requirements and acceptance criteria, Faheem Code can read the ticket, generate an implementation plan, and create a pull request in your linked repository.

How it works​

Once configured, you can request Faheem Code to work on a Jira ticket by:

  1. Specify the Repository: Include the repository location in either:

    • The ticket body itself, or
    • A comment on the ticket

  2. Trigger Faheem Code: Activate the agent using one of these methods:

    • Add an faheemcode label to the ticket
    • Comment with: @faheem-code please review these requirements, generate a plan, and then proceed with implementation

Faheem Code will then read the ticket, understand the requirements, and generate a conversation that results in a pull request implementing the requested changes.

Example ticket​

Here's an example of how to structure a Jira ticket for Faheem Code:

Title: Add SAML Support

Body:

As an administrator for my web app, I want to configure SAML so I can provide secure access to my system.

GitHub repository: AcmeCo/WebApp

AC:
- Verify an administrator can configure SAML settings
- Verify an end user can authenticate via SAML

After creating this ticket, you can either add the faheemcode label or comment with @faheem-code please review these requirements, generate a plan, and then proceed with implementation to start the automation process.

Platform configuration​

Step 1: create service account​

  1. Access User Management

    • Log in to Jira Data Center as administrator
    • Go to Administration > User Management

  2. Create User

    • Click Create User
    • Username: faheem-code-agent
    • Full Name: Faheem Code Agent
    • Email: faheemcode@yourcompany.com (replace with your preferred service account email)
    • Password: Set a secure password
    • Click Create

  3. Assign Permissions

    • Add user to appropriate groups
    • Ensure access to relevant projects
    • Grant necessary project permissions

Step 2: generate API token​

  1. Personal Access Tokens
    • Log in as the service account
    • Go to Profile > Personal Access Tokens
    • Click Create token
    • Name: Faheem Code Cloud Integration
    • Expiry: Set appropriate expiration (recommend 1 year)
    • Click Create
    • Important: Copy and store the token securely

Step 3: configure webhook​

  1. Create Webhook
    • Go to Administration > System > WebHooks
    • Click Create a WebHook
    • Name: Faheem Code Cloud Integration
    • URL: https://app.faheemcode.ai/integration/jira-dc/events
    • Set a suitable webhook secret
    • Issue related events: Select the following:
      • Issue updated
      • Comment created
    • JQL Filter: Leave empty (or customize as needed)
    • Click Create
    • Important: Copy and store the webhook secret securely (you'll need this for workspace integration)

Workspace integration​

Step 1: log in to Faheem Code Cloud​

  1. Navigate and Authenticate
    • Go to Faheem Code Cloud
    • Sign in with your Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket)
    • Important: Make sure you're signing in with the same Git provider account that contains the repositories you want the Faheem Code agent to work on.

Step 2: configure Jira Data Center integration​

  1. Access Integration Settings

    • Navigate to Settings > Integrations
    • Locate Jira Data Center section

  2. Configure Workspace

    • Click Configure button
    • Enter your workspace name and click Connect
      • If no integration exists, you'll be prompted to enter additional credentials required for the workspace integration:
        • Webhook Secret: The webhook secret from Step 3 above
        • Service Account Email: The service account email from Step 1 above
        • Service Account API Key: The personal access token from Step 2 above
        • Ensure Active toggle is enabled
  1. Complete OAuth Flow
    • You'll be redirected to Jira Data Center to complete OAuth verification
    • Grant the necessary permissions to verify your workspace access. If you have access to multiple workspaces, select the correct one that you initially provided
    • If successful, you will be redirected back to the Integrations settings in the Faheem Code Cloud UI

Managing your integration​

Edit Configuration:

  • Click the Edit button next to your configured platform
  • Update any necessary credentials or settings
  • Click Update to apply changes
  • You will need to repeat the OAuth flow as before
  • Important: Only the original user who created the integration can see the edit view

Unlink Workspace:

  • In the edit view, click Unlink next to the workspace name
  • This will deactivate your workspace link
  • Important: If the original user who configured the integration chooses to unlink their integration, any users currently linked to that integration will also be unlinked, and the workspace integration will be deactivated. The integration can only be reactivated by the original user.
