Connect Jira to Yasu to export cost-saving insights directly as Jira issues. Yasu uses Atlassian OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your Jira site, converting insights into well-formatted issues with remote links back to Yasu.

​
Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure:
  • You have a Jira Cloud site with permission to authorize third-party OAuth apps
  • You have a Jira project where issues should be created
Jira Server (on-premise) is not supported. Yasu connects to Jira Cloud only.

​
Steps

1

Navigate to Integrations

  1. Log in to your Yasu dashboard at app.yasu.cloud
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations
  3. Click Connect next to Jira
2

Authorize Yasu in Atlassian

You will be redirected to the Atlassian OAuth consent screen.
  1. Review the requested permissions
  2. Click Accept
Yasu requests only the scopes needed to create issues and add remote links. It does not access other Atlassian products.
3

Select your Jira site

If you have access to multiple Atlassian sites, select the Jira site you want to connect. You will be automatically redirected back to Yasu.
4

Configure defaults

After authorization, configure your default export settings:
  • Project — The Jira project where issues will be created
  • Issue type — Default issue type (e.g., Task, Story, Bug)
  • Priority — Default issue priority
These defaults apply when exporting insights. You can override them per issue.
5

Export your first insight

  1. Go to any cost-saving insight in your Yasu dashboard
  2. Click the Export to Jira button
  3. Review the issue details and adjust project or issue type if needed
  4. Confirm the export
The issue appears in your Jira project within seconds, formatted in Atlassian Document Format with a remote link back to the insight in Yasu.

Troubleshooting

Common causes:
  • Your Atlassian site has admin-level restrictions on third-party OAuth apps
  • You do not have permission to authorize apps on the site
Solution:Check with your Atlassian admin to confirm third-party OAuth apps are allowed. If your site uses SSO, ensure your session is active before authorizing.
Common causes:
  • You do not have access to any Jira Cloud sites
  • You are trying to connect Jira Server (on-premise), which is not supported
Solution:Verify you have an active Jira Cloud subscription at admin.atlassian.com. Yasu only supports Jira Cloud.
Common causes:
  • Complex markdown formatting does not always map perfectly to Atlassian Document Format (ADF)
  • The issue type may not support rich text descriptions
Solution:Use a standard issue type (Task or Story) that supports rich text. If specific formatting is lost, edit the issue description directly in Jira after export.
