Avaza + Jira integration
Developers work in Jira; project managers plan, schedule, track time and bill in Avaza. Zapier links the two so issues and tasks don't drift apart.
What you can automate between Avaza and Jira
New task → Jira issue
Create a Jira issue whenever a development task is added in Avaza. (Avaza: New Task Created → Jira: Create Issue)
New issue → Avaza task
Bring new Jira issues into Avaza as tasks so the time spent on them is tracked and billable. (Jira: New Issue → Avaza: Create Task)
Issue status changed → task updated
When an issue moves in Jira, find the matching Avaza task and update it. (Jira: Issue Status Changed → Avaza: Search Task + Update Task)
Set up Avaza + Jira in Zapier
No code and no developer needed. Most Zaps take a few minutes.
1. Connect both apps
In Zapier, create a Zap and sign in to Avaza and Jira when prompted.
2. Pick a trigger and an action
Choose what starts the Zap and what happens next, for example “New Issue” in Jira and “Create Task” in Avaza.
3. Map fields and switch it on
Match fields such as title, project, customer and dates, test the Zap, then turn it on.
Why connect Jira and Avaza?
Jira tracks the engineering work; Avaza covers everything around it: resource scheduling, timesheets, budgets, client approvals and invoicing. Connecting them means project managers see development work in Avaza without asking developers to update two systems.
Using GitHub? Avaza also has a built-in GitHub integration that links tasks to commits, branches and pull requests.

Questions about the Jira integration
Is the Jira integration built into Avaza?
No. It runs through Zapier, which connects Avaza to thousands of apps. Avaza's built-in integrations are Xero, QuickBooks Online, GitHub, Google Drive, Dropbox, Stripe, PayPal and Payoneer, plus Google single sign-on.
Do I need a paid Zapier plan?
You need a Zapier account, and Zapier's own plans apply: simple two-step Zaps run on its free plan, while multi-step Zaps (for example, searching for an Avaza project before creating a task) need a paid Zapier plan.
How quickly do the automations run?
Avaza's Zapier triggers are instant: Avaza tells Zapier as soon as a task, project, invoice or other record is created or changed. Zaps that start in Jira run on the schedule Zapier uses for that app's trigger.
