Hi Everyone,

I am looking for the AWX integration with jira and create a project in it using playbook.

Could anyone help me with the documentaion? Even while adding the new credentials in AWX, i did not get any Credential type for jira.

Please help me with the proper solution for this.

I am not sure there is native integration with AWX, you would have to create a custom credential type ([12. Custom Credential Types — Automation Controller User Guide v4.4](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/credential_types.html)).

On the playbook side, there is a module thought to talk to JIRA: [community.general.jira module – Create and modify issues in a JIRA instance — Ansible Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/jira_module.html)

Actually in credential there is no option to choose jira as a target. How can i run template without jira as a integration option in AWX.  
as i have installed Jira in an ec2 instance.

I think it would need to be a custom credential @Nikhil

Hello, everyone

since I am new to AWX, I need some technical explanation or example how to integrate cloud jira with ansible. My situation seems very simple. I have ansible scripts that do the job perfectly. But now I faced such a situation that these scripts need to be uploaded to AWX, then these scripts need to run only when a button is pressed on the jira page and they need to be executed with the values ​​taken from the jira page.  
I had the following questions:  
where in AWX should these ansible scripts be loaded. And how to interface between JIRA and ansible?  
Thanks for a help and answers
