How-to: Add Jira Sources

The "Trello Board inside Jira" add-on allows you to add only one current Jira source, but you can add as many Trello sources as needed.

To add Jira cloud sources to TrelloBoard, please follow these steps:

  2. Click on the "Create" → "Jira Source" button.
  3. Press on the "Connect" button under the "URL" field.


After establishing a connection with the Jira source in TrelloBoard, it's essential to provide the authorisation credentials.

    1. User Email: Input the email address linked to your Jira Cloud account. 
    2. API Token: Generate an API token in your Jira Cloud account settings and provide it in the specified field. The API token acts as a password for access to your Jira account. (Follow this link to generate API token)

  • Configure: Clicking on the "Configure" option allows you to access each source's settings and configuration options. 
  • Delete: If you want to remove a source from TrelloBoard, select the "Delete" option.
  • Change order: If you have multiple sources added in TrelloBoard, you can typically change their order to determine how the data from each source is presented on the board or within the TrelloBoard interface. 

The "WatchTower" add-on allows you to add multiple sources according to your needs. This means you can simultaneously connect to multiple platforms, such as Trello, Jira, Monday, and more.
