Connecting Ticketing Data.mov

  1. For JIRA, first follow these instructions in JIRA to create an API token with the necessary permissions.
    1. The API token inherits the permissions of the user account, so many companies set up a specific Service Account Admin for this. That way you can give the API token access to all necessary Projects and exclude any work that is completely irrelevant to R&D.
    2. Confirm the API token has access to:
      1. ALL projects that are potentially relevant.
      2. User names AND email addresses
        1. Use the /rest/api/3/users/search endpoint to confirm
  2. Then go to app.neo.tax and navigate to “Projects” page
  3. Click “Connect Project Management”
  4. Select ticketing provider
  5. Connect ticketing by following the directions in the modal
    1. JIRA: This is where you will paste in the token created in step 1.
    2. Linear: You will create the token at this step. You can also create a service token for Linear if you like.
  6. Fill out “Company Information” section
  7. Click “Start Analysis”

  2. Question: Does my JIRA need to be set up in a particular way to be used with NeoTax? Answer: No - NeoTax is built to ingest any JIRA setup, no matter how messy. The integration ingests ticket level data, then enriches that with any available hierarchy data like Projects, Epics, etc. Then NeoTax organizes the data into higher-level groupings using AI.

  3. Question: What version of JIRA do I need?

    Answer:

    NeoTax supports all versions of JIRA Cloud.

    JIRA Data Center is also supported-reach out to discuss integration.
