Connect GitLab and Jira to automatically update issue status as code moves through your CI/CD pipeline.
The GitLab Jira integration automates the handoff between code activity and issue tracking. With GitLab Jira sync, merge requests, pipeline results, and deployments drive Jira transitions automatically.
Move Jira issues through your workflow automatically when GitLab merge requests are opened, merged, or deployed.
Link every GitLab commit and branch to the Jira issue it resolves.
Post GitLab CI pipeline results as Jira issue comments so stakeholders see real delivery status.
Move a Jira issue from In Progress to In Review automatically when a linked GitLab MR is opened.
Transition a Jira issue to Done when its linked GitLab merge request is merged to main.
Post a GitLab CI pipeline failure as a comment on the linked Jira issue.
Automatically link a GitLab branch to its Jira issue based on the issue key in the branch name.
Log merge counts and cycle times from GitLab to Jira fields for sprint velocity reporting.
Collect all Jira issues closed during a GitLab release and generate structured release notes.
Authorize GitLab and Jira in Neotask and map projects.
Choose which GitLab events trigger Jira actions.
From branch creation to deployment, every step updates the Jira issue.
| GitLab Action | Jira Action | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| MR opened | Transition issue to In Review | Automatic review status |
| MR merged to main | Transition issue to Done | Auto-close on merge |
| CI pipeline failed | Post failure comment on issue | Pipeline failure visibility |
| Release tag created | Comment release notes on issues | Release traceability |
| Branch created with issue key | Link branch to issue | Commit-to-issue traceability |
| MR approved | Add Approved label to issue | Review gate tracking |
| Deployment completed | Transition issue to Deployed | Deployment status sync |
Jira is where work is planned and GitLab is where it gets done. Without a GitLab Jira integration, the gap creates stale tickets and lost traceability.
Neotask supports multiple projects and custom workflow mappings for mono-repos and multi-team setups.
Use issue keys in branch names like feature/PROJ-123-login for automatic linking.
Map GitLab pipeline environments to specific Jira transition names.
Set up a Jira filter for issues with active GitLab MRs to give QA a live review queue.
It connects GitLab code events to Jira issue actions like transitions and comments.
Yes. Neotask supports many-to-many project mapping.
You need GitLab maintainer access for webhooks and Jira project admin for transitions.
Neotask logs the mismatch and skips the transition without crashing.
Set up the GitLab Jira integration with Neotask and let your CI/CD pipeline keep issue tracking accurate.
