How to connect Jira to Microsoft Teams
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Jira account
- An active Microsoft Teams account with permission to install apps
- 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 Jira
Click "Add Connection" and select Jira from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Jira's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Authenticate Microsoft Teams
Same process for Microsoft Teams. Click "Add Connection," select Microsoft Teams, and authorize access. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in jira or new message received in microsoft teams. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in microsoft teams. Map the data fields between Jira and Microsoft Teams so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Jira and Microsoft Teams. 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.
