How to connect Gmail to Jira
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Gmail account with permission to install apps
- An active Jira account
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Gmail
Click "Add Connection" and select Gmail from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Gmail's authorization page. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Authenticate Jira
Same process for Jira. Click "Add Connection," select Jira, and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in gmail or new item created in jira. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in jira. Map the data fields between Gmail and Jira so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Gmail and Jira. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Why connect Gmail and Jira?
Conversations in Gmail create work. Tasks in Jira generate updates. Without automation, your team wastes time relaying information between the two. Connect them and let context flow automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting Gmail and Jira.
How do I connect Gmail to Jira?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Gmail and Jira via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Gmail and Jira?
Popular automations include: create Jira tasks from Gmail messages, post Jira deadline reminders to Gmail channels, update Jira item statuses when Gmail reactions are added, and archive completed Jira tasks in Gmail threads. You can also trigger custom workflows from specific Gmail keywords.
Is the Gmail and Jira integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Gmail-to-Jira workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Gmail data secure when connected to Jira?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Gmail or Jira passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Gmail and Jira?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Gmail or Jira. For example, create a workflow where Gmail events update Jira, and a separate one where Jira changes sync back to Gmail. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Gmail and Jira?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Gmail and Jira, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
