Capabilities
Toolkits, triggers, and actions available to your AI Employees through Jira.
Comment Created
Triggers when a comment is posted on a Jira issue. Can deliver comments on issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Comment Deleted
Triggers when a comment is deleted from a Jira issue. The deleted comment's text still arrives. Can deliver comments on issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Comment Updated
Triggers when an existing comment on a Jira issue is edited. The payload carries the comment as it now reads, not what it said before. Can deliver comments on issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Issue Created
Triggers when an issue is created in Jira, including a sub-task. Can deliver issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Issue Deleted
Triggers when an issue is deleted from Jira. The deleted issue's full field set still arrives, so the filters below apply to it as usual. Can deliver issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Issue Updated
Triggers when a field on an existing issue changes — its status, assignee, or anything else on the issue. One edit can change several fields and arrives as one event; creating a sub-task also updates its parent. Commenting does not fire it. Can deliver issues the connected account cannot open in Jira itself.
Sprint Closed
Triggers when a sprint is completed and moves into the closed state.
Sprint Created
Triggers when a sprint is created on a Jira board. Creating a sprint does not start it — watch Sprint Started for that.
Sprint Started
Triggers when a sprint moves into the active state.
Sprint Updated
Triggers when a sprint's name, goal, dates or state changes. Starting a sprint also fires this when the same call changed another field; closing one does not.
Version Created
Triggers when a project version is created in Jira.
Version Deleted
Triggers when a project version is deleted outright. A version that disappeared because it was merged into another one fires Version Merged instead.
Version Merged
Triggers when a project version is merged into another one, carrying both the version that went away and the one that survived.
Version Moved
Triggers when a project version is reordered within its project's release list.
Version Released
Triggers when a project version is marked released.
Version Unreleased
Triggers when a released project version is put back to unreleased.
Version Updated
Triggers when a project version's name, description or dates change. Releasing and un-releasing a version each fire this as well, alongside Version Released and Version Unreleased.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Jira to your Odella AI workforce.
How do triggers work with Odella AI Employees?
Where supported, triggers start work automatically when something happens in a connected app, like a new email, ticket, or record. Your AI Employee picks up the task and follows the workflow you trained them on.
What happens if an integration is updated or expanded?
Odella keeps integration capabilities up to date automatically. When new actions or triggers become available, your AI Employees can use them without you rebuilding workflows from scratch.
Can multiple AI Employees use the same integration?
Yes. Connect an integration once per AI Employee who needs it. Each worker gets their own scoped access, so responsibilities stay clear across your AI workforce.
Does Odella replace my existing software?
No. Odella works alongside the tools you already pay for. AI Employees operate inside Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, and the rest of your stack. They do not replace those systems.
How quickly can I connect Jira to an Odella AI Employee?
Most teams connect Jira in a few minutes through Odella's native integration flow. Choose the AI Employee who needs access, authenticate securely, and define which actions they can perform.
