Salesforce and Jira Integration for an Automotive SaaS Provider

Challenge

  • Agents copied data from Salesforce cases into Jira by hand, which caused delays, errors and inconsistencies.
  • Support teams could not see the status of issues in Jira, so customers were followed up more than once.
  • Support and development teams worked from different information.
  • Fields such as priority, shop ID and service type had to map accurately between the two systems.
  • Data moving between the systems had to be secured.

Solution

  • Middleware creates a Jira issue automatically whenever a case is logged in Salesforce, carrying the title, priority and customer details.
  • Jira webhooks push status changes back to Salesforce, and comments sync in both directions.
  • We customized the middleware to map fields such as priority, shop ID and service type.
  • OAuth-based authentication secures communication between the systems.
  • Salesforce dashboards show agents the status of linked Jira issues, with alerts when a critical status changes.

Results

  • Outcomes stated for this project: manual tasks reduced by 45%.
  • Average resolution time reduced by 30%.
  • Customer satisfaction scores up by 20%.
  • Fewer data entry and status tracking errors.
