You can define how data is mapped and synchronized, ensuring that relevant information is exchanged accurately. This customization enables you to align the integration with your unique business processes and requirements.

But now let’s investigate the details of the integration. Let's consider a use case where an organization uses Ivanti Service Manager for handling service requests and Jira for managing tasks and projects. In this scenario, integrating Ivanti Service Requests with Jira Tasks can streamline the workflow and improve overall efficiency.

Use Case: Ivanti Service Requests to Jira Tasks Integration

Scenario:

An enterprise utilizes Ivanti Service Manager to handle internal service requests and incidents, such as IT support, facilities management, and employee onboarding. Simultaneously, they use Jira as their project management tool for tracking tasks, development projects, and other work items.

The IT and project management teams at enterprise are facing challenges in managing and tracking tasks efficiently. Service requests are often related to specific tasks or projects that need to be carried out in Jira. Manually transferring information between Ivanti and Jira results in duplicated efforts, delays, and potential errors.

‍The best solution:

Establishing a smooth and automatic Jira Ivanti data transfer, using an advanced no-code integration solution like the ZigiOps platform. ZigiOps allows the teams using the two systems to continue their work with the system of their choice, without interrupting the exchange of critical information. In fact, the no-code solution helps them speed up the process, eliminating any possibility of bottlenecks and enhancing their overall performance. The transfer of Ivanti service requests and transforming them into Jira tasks is easy and fast.

Jira Ivanti Integration – Set up process

Step 1: Installation

The initial phase of integrating Jira with Ivanti involves the deployment of the ZigiOps system. ZigiOps provides comprehensive documentation outlining its prerequisites and installation procedures for added clarity. Accessible on both iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) and on-premises environments, ZigiOps boasts a user-friendly installation process that only requires a few clicks to set up and initiate.

For on-premises installations, the entire process typically takes no more than five minutes to complete. Notably, ZigiOps is designed as a no-code solution, eliminating the need for additional coding efforts. Furthermore, its integration does not necessitate alterations in other applications. Thanks to its robust security protocols, ZigiOps adheres to strict policies and does not retain any of your information.

Accessing ZigiOps is a swift and straightforward process. The integration platform only necessitates the input of a username and password for login, ensuring a quick and user-friendly authentication experience.

The sign-up process is simple and easy. It requires just a username and password. After that, we’re immediately taken inside the ZigiOps no-code integration tool.

Step 2: ZigiOps Dashboard

ZigiOps seamlessly directs users to the main Dashboard. Here, we’re provided with key information, including the number of current system integrations, active licenses, and the status of connected systems, the amount of extracted records for a pre-defined period of time, some vital statistics and also the health status of both the systems and the integration platform.

Step 3: Connecting the systems

ZigiOps simple UI makes it easy for the users to fastly initiate a connection between different systems. This is possible from the Connected Systems Menu.

If we click on the Add a new system, ZigiOps will display a long list of systems that are currently available for integration.

Connecting to Jira

Connecting with the Atlassian Jira is fast and easy. It takes just a few clicks and requires:

• Instance URL  
• User  
• Password  

We can also login through a proxy, if needed.

Connecting to Ivanti

Establishing a successful connection with Ivanti also does not take much time. The information that is required is:

• Server URL → Input the URL of your instance. For example, https://example.vantosi.com/HEAT.
• API Key → Input the API Key required for authentication.

• Proxy Settings → Enables the usage of a proxy server.

After establishing a connection with each of the desired systems we‘d like to integrate, we can click on the SAVE and TEST options ZigiOps displays in the upper right corner. This will allow the integration platform to save and test the connection, plus – will initiate the collection of some metadata which will, later on, be used for the Jira Ivanti integration configuration.‍

Step 4: ZigiOps Integrations Template gallery

Next, we can move forward with the Jira Ivanti integration and go to the Add a new system option. It allows us to choose one of many ZigiOps’ pre-defined templates. If the occasion calls for specific actions, ZigiOps will also allow us to import our own custom template to fit the integration use case criteria.

Step 5: Jira Ivanti integration template

ZigiOps’ main integration section displays the exact systems we’d like to integrate, the data types we plan to transfer and synchronize, plus the correlation logic ZigiOps will use to perform the integration.

A comprehensive integration platform like ZigiOps allows users to easily pick the exact data they want to send from one system to another during the integration process.

‍

As you can see here, ZigiOps allows us to specify what data will be transferred from Ivanti to Jira’s instance such as:

• Address types
• Hwintentity_printers
• Excludeorincludesubnets
• Ci_enterpriseapplications
• Ci_unkwndevices
• Hardwareprofiles

• Ci_contracts  

And more.

Hardware profiles

The same is valid for our Jira instance. We can easily pick between:

• Sprint
• Htp. epic
• Htp. subtask
• Stq. epic
• Cfh. epic
• Statuspagecategory
• And more.

Once we pick the systems we’re sure we want to integrate (in our case Ivanti and Jira), we must click on the Save option that’s available in the upper right corner of the integration template. This way, ZigiOps will connect Ivanti to Jira, and we can safely proceed with the integration steps.

Step 6: Setting up the Ivanti Service Requests to Jira tasks integration

ZigiOps offers 3 action levels for this integration (he number can vary, depending on the use case). For the Jira Ivanti integration, ZigiOps offers the following:

• Create Jira Task
• Update Jira Task
• Update Ivanti Service Requests

Create Jira Task

ZigiOps allows us to tailor the integration so that it fits the current needs. We can easily pick the trigger, trigger conditions and expressions.  

Effective trigger conditions are pivotal in achieving a successful integration between Jira and Ivanti in ZigiOps. Utilizing polling as a trigger action, ZigiOps actively searches for newly created service requests in Ivanti, allowing customization of scanning intervals—whether in minutes, seconds, or days. Additionally, a mandatory trigger condition involves specifying a field name and value, ensuring ZigiOps performs scans only when the required criteria are met.

ZigiOps' advanced field mapping functionality provides enhanced control over the specific information details that the connector can retrieve and transfer, offering a more tailored integration experience.

‍

‍Update Jira task

ZigiOps' bi-directional integration capabilities enable swift and automatic real-time updates to tasks in Jira, ensuring seamless and efficient workflow management.

Update Ivanti

Additionally, ZigiOps allows users to have their Ivanti instance updated whenever there are changes on Jira task’s side.

Conclusion

Integrating Jira Ivanti with ZigiOps provides organizations with an efficient and streamlined workflow management solution. The benefits of this integration are vast, including enhanced incident management, improved collaboration and communication, accelerated workflows, seamless data synchronization, and increased visibility into key performance metrics. With the no-code integration approach, users are empowered to customize and configure the integration to their unique requirements without the need for extensive coding knowledge.
