Jira Time Tracking Integration

Jira’s own worklog is hours typed in by hand. WebWork tracks time on your Jira issues with screenshots and activity levels behind every hour. The hours are logged on each issue as native worklog entries and appear on the timesheets you approve and bill from.

One timesheet for your Jira team

Imported members keep their Jira role in WebWork. Their hours on every Jira issue land on one timesheet, ready for approval, invoices and payroll.

  • Members keep their Jira role.
  • Every Jira project, one timesheet.
  • Approval, invoices and payroll.

What you can do with the WebWork + Jira integration

Import your Jira projects and issues once. Webhooks keep them current, and your team’s tracked time is logged on each issue.

Import with the structure intact

Bring over members, projects and issues. Pick which projects come, and which issue statuses come with them.

  • Sub-tasks arrive under their parent issue.
  • Each issue keeps its Jira workflow status.
  • Custom fields and the original estimate come over.

Live sync from Jira

Add your Atlassian API token, and a change on a Jira issue is mirrored in WebWork the moment it happens.

Webhooks carry the change; nothing is synced by hand.

Two-way sync

Turn on Two-way sync, and what you do in WebWork reaches Jira.

  • Issues created in WebWork
  • Edits to an issue
  • Deleted issues
  • Assignee
  • Due date
  • Status, as a transition

Tracked time logged on the Jira issue

Time tracked in WebWork is logged on the Jira issue as a native worklog entry, under the person who tracked it. Teammates who live in Jira see the hours without opening WebWork.

Create Jira issues from WebWork

Add a task in WebWork inside a synced Jira project. With two-way sync on, it appears in Jira, ready to track.

FAQ

Yes. Import your Jira projects and issues into WebWork, and your team tracks time on them in WebWork’s desktop, web or mobile app. With sending tracked time turned on, the hours are logged on each Jira issue as a native worklog entry.
Jira’s worklog records hours someone typed in. WebWork records the hours with screenshots and activity levels, puts them on timesheets for approval, billing and payroll, and still logs them on the Jira issue.
Jira stays the place where you plan. WebWork adds what happens while the work is done: screenshots, activity levels, timesheets with approvals, billable hours, payroll and WebWork AI. All of it is tied to the Jira issue the time was tracked on.
Yes. With your API token in place, a change to an issue’s status, assignee, summary, description, priority or due date in Jira is mirrored in WebWork as it happens. With two-way sync on, tasks created, updated or deleted in WebWork are reflected in Jira, and a status change in WebWork runs the matching workflow transition.
No. Starting or stopping a timer in WebWork never moves a Jira issue. An issue moves only when you change its status in WebWork, and Jira then runs the matching workflow transition.
Members with their Jira role, projects, and issues with their status. Sub-tasks come under their parent issue, and the custom fields you choose and the original estimate come with each issue. Issue types are not kept: tasks, stories, bugs and epics all arrive as WebWork tasks. Boards and sprints do not come over.
Open the issue in Jira, expand its details and look at the tracked hours. The Full Setup Guide shows where.
The Jira integration works on every WebWork plan: Pro includes one integration, and Plus and Premium include all of them.
WebWork lists the members whose Atlassian contact visibility is set to Anyone. A member sets it in their Atlassian profile, under Profile and visibility, Contact.
