# Create Jira issues from Briefwell updates

Point Briefwell at the pages, feeds, or topics to watch, and let a high-priority change open a Jira issue automatically.

Briefwell is a proactive monitoring tool that can create a Jira issue automatically when a high-priority change is detected. You point it at the pages, feeds, or topics to watch; when something material changes, it creates the issue in your project with the details and a link back to the source in Briefwell.

## At a glance

- **What it does:** Creates a Jira issue when a monitored source changes materially.
- **Trigger:** A high-priority per-change Update.
- **What lands in Jira:** An issue with a summary of what changed and a link back to the source.
- **Setup:** Connect Jira once in delivery settings, then assign it per source, bundle, or collection.
- **Direction:** One-way, Briefwell creates issues in Jira.
- **Best for:** Teams that triage monitored changes as tracked work.

## What the Jira integration does

Jira is an act-on-an-update destination. When Briefwell raises a high-priority Update on a monitored source, bundle, or collection, it can create a Jira issue — or comment on an open one — with the details and a link back to the source. It's opt-in and additive: it never overrides your team's own decision.

## How to connect it

Connect Jira once from your workspace's delivery settings, then choose it as the destination for any source, bundle, or collection you want turned into tracked work.

## What you get

Each Jira issue is grounded in the source evidence Briefwell captured — a snapshot and the record of what changed — so the person picking up the issue can trace it straight back to the source.

## How it works

1. Point Briefwell at the web pages, feeds, APIs, or research topics you want to watch.
2. It checks them on a schedule, compares each result with the previous version, and keeps a record of what changed.
3. When a change matters, Briefwell creates an update — judged and explained, with the evidence attached — and delivers it to Slack, email, your CRM, or a signed webhook.

## Questions

### Can Briefwell create Jira issues automatically?

Yes. For high-priority updates it creates an issue — or comments on an open one — with the details and a link, and this is additive: it never overrides your team's decision.

### Does Jira receive the full composed brief?

No. Jira receives an issue created from a high-priority update; full composed briefs deliver by email, Slack notification, or signed webhook.

### Is creating an issue automatic or manual?

It's opt-in. When enabled for a source, high-priority updates open a Jira issue automatically.
