5 ways to integrate Jira with Google Sheets for prioritization

Explore five methods to integrate Jira with Google Sheets for backlog prioritization. Each approach offers different levels of automation, synchronization, and functionality to help you make informed decisions.

Jira is one of the most widely used tools for project and task management. Teams use Jira projects to organize product development, track projects, and operate support desks. To analyze data, create dashboards, track KPIs, or calculate priorities, you often need to export Jira data to Google Sheets.

One of the primary benefits of integrating Jira with Google Sheets is the ability to prioritize your backlog by exporting it, assigning weights to tasks, creating formulas, and calculating totals.

Google Sheets as a prioritization tool

Google Sheets works well for small teams with relatively small data volumes. As data increases, problems emerge:

• Files slow down as size increases
• Formulas lack flexibility and require manual adjustment
• No real-time synchronization
• Data duplication
• Manual data maintenance required
• Limited data visualization
• No built-in prioritization framework templates
• No automatic reports or matrices

3. Select Jira Cloud as your tracker and click Connect Jira Cloud.

Step 2: Import issues from Jira Cloud

In Ducalis, a Board is a collection of issues with evaluation parameters. Settings like formula, teams, and criteria are configured separately for each Board. Filter the issues you want to prioritize using one of two methods:

Method A: Create a filter in Ducalis

1. Select an instance that has the required issues.

2. Choose from Current Integrations or Add a new instance.

3. Click Import from the instance.

4. Filter the issues you want to sync with Ducalis:

   • Project, Issue Type, and Status are required filters
   • Assignees filter is optional

5. Preview your issues after applying filters and click Start Import.

6. Your issues will be available on your Board once the import completes.

Method B: Connect an existing Jira filter

1. From the Import page, click Switch to Jira Filters.

2. Select the desired filter from the drop-down menu or search for it by typing the filter's name.

3. Preview your issues after applying filters and click Start Import.

4. Your issues will be available on your Board once the import completes.

Troubleshooting: No filters found

If you have a filter in Jira Cloud that's not showing up, check the filter's access status. The filter access status must be Public, Open, or My Organization.

To check or modify the filter access status in Jira Cloud:

1. Click Details on the filter you want to edit.

2. Click Edit Permissions.

3. Set access level to Public, Open, or My Organization.

4. Click Add.

5. Verify the access status was added.

6. Click Save.

7. Return to Ducalis and refresh the filter list.

Step 3: Create custom fields in Jira Cloud

A Ducalis Board can be used with one or more company-managed projects or one team-managed project.

For company-managed projects:

6. In Jira Cloud, paste the field name and click Create.

7. Click Update after connecting the following screens:

   • Default Screen
   • Resolve Issue Screen
   • Workflow Screen
   • All screens with the project keys for projects in the Ducalis board filter

8. If you don't see your project key because it shares settings with another project, open Issue and type "screen schemes" in a new tab to see what project key relates to yours.

9. Create two fields for issue ranking synchronization: Priority and Alignment. Inside issues, you'll find links to ranking and alignment analysis.

For team-managed projects:

1. Click Project settings.

2. Click Issue Types.

3. Choose an issue type you want to prioritize.

4. Drag the Short Text field from the Create A Field section on the right and drop it among the Context fields.

5. Type the field name Priority Ducalis and click Save Changes.

6. Create another field the same way and call it Alignment Ducalis.

7. For all other issue types you're prioritizing, drag and drop both fields from Previously Created Fields into Context fields.

8. Save changes for each issue type.

9. Inside issues, you'll find links to ranking and alignment analysis.

Step 4: Configure Jira board to display rankings

Configure your Jira Cloud board to see Ducalis ranking in the backlog and active sprint, and set the issue order by priority.

Configure issue order:

1. Click the three-dots button to access Board settings.

2. Select Edit Filter Query from the General menu.

3. Type ORDER BY priority in the query and choose the Priority (your emoji) Ducalis custom field from the menu.

4. Add a space, type ASC for ascending order, click Search, and then Save.

5. All your issues will now be prioritized.

Configure backlog and active sprint display:

1. Click the three-dots button to access Board settings.

2. From the Card Layout menu, go to the Backlog section.

5. Issue ranking is now visible in the issue card, backlog, and active sprint:

   • Backlog:
   • Active Sprint:
   • Issue Card:

Step 5: Create a webhook for real-time synchronization

1. Open your Jira Cloud account and select System from the cog icon. (Admin access required)

2. Under the Advanced tab, select Webhooks.

3. Click Create a Webhook.

4. Enter the following information:

   • Name: Any name (e.g., Ducalis)
   • Status: Enabled
   • URL: https://hi.ducalis.io/rest/webhooks/jira

1. Enter your email: Use the email address associated with the API token you generated
2. Enter your Jira workspace name: Choose .atlassian.net or .jira.com from the drop-down menu
3. Keep your API token safe: Generate a new key if lost

Process:

Step 1: Import issues

You can import issues two ways:

Issues tab:

1. Select Project: Choose the project you want to import from Jira Cloud into Airtable
2. Issue Type: Choose the issue type you want to import
3. Choose a Table: The active table is selected by default but can be changed
4. Merge records:
   • If you merge records, only new records are added each time the import runs
   • If you don't merge records, a new record is added each time the import runs
   • A Jira record will not be updated or removed from the table if it no longer fits the import criteria

Custom JQL tab:

1. The Jira Cloud app supports JQL (Jira Query Language). Copy and paste custom queries from Jira into this tab.
2. The app will not remove or update a Jira record if it no longer appears in the JQL results.

Step 2: Field mapping

Supported field types for integration between Jira and Airtable (recommended types in bold):

• Issue Key: Single Line, Long Text
• Status: Single Line, Long Text, Single Select
• Assignee: Single Line, Long Text, Collaborator
• Summary: Single Line, Long Text
• Created Date: Single Line, Long Text, Date
• Due Date: Single Line, Long Text, Date
• Labels: Single Line, Long Text, Multiple Select
• Description: Single Line, Long Text
• URL: Single Line, Long Text, URL, Link to another record
• Priority: Single Line, Long Text, Single Select
• Issue Type: Single Line, Long Text, Single Select

Things to keep in mind:

• Formatted text, code, emojis, embedded attachments, and tagged users will show as unformatted plain text
• When importing Jira fields into Airtable Multiple Select and Single Select fields, specify the options in Airtable before importing
• If User Email Visibility is not set to Public in Jira Cloud settings, assignees will be blank

Step 3: Update your project

1. Refresh Airtable records manually using the Jira Cloud app from the app dashboard. You can check the last import time and update records.
2. Manually update Multiple Select and Single Select fields to include any new selections to match Jira before subsequent imports.

Step 4: Recommendations

1. Create a different table for each project using the Select Issues Tab
2. Each Jira project should have its own Jira Cloud app. Add more app dashboards and rename them for organization
3. Select All Issue Types and Merge Records to ensure imported records are properly updated
4. Set up all Multi-Select, Single Select, and Collaborators in Airtable before importing
5. Add a Last Modified Time field to track when records were last modified
6. Update selections in any Multi-Select or Single Select field before making changes in Jira Cloud
7. Verify date formatting in the Date Field matches Jira Cloud to avoid problems

Step 5: Update Jira API credentials

To add new credentials, click the settings wheel in the top right corner of your app.
