# Connect Jira to a Shipfox workspace (https://www.shipfox.io/docs/integrations/jira/setup)

Description: Authorize a Jira site, copy the integration connection slug, and verify event and tool access.

Connect Jira when a workflow needs Jira events or an agent step needs Jira
tools. See the [Jira overview](https://www.shipfox.io/docs/integrations/jira) for its capabilities.

## Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

You need access to workspace integration settings. You also need permission to
authorize Shipfox in the target Jira Cloud site.

If your Atlassian account can access multiple Jira sites, identify the site that
the workspace should use.

## Authorize Jira [#authorize-jira]

### Start the integration connection

Open **Settings → Integrations** in the workspace. Select **Jira**, then
start the integration connection.

### Authorize the Jira site

Sign in to Atlassian and authorize Shipfox. If Jira lists multiple sites,
select the site to connect to this Shipfox workspace.

### Record the integration connection slug

Open the new integration connection's menu. Select **Use this integration**.
Copy the slug from the event or tool-selection example. Workflows use the
slug as `source`. Tool steps and agent steps use it as `connection`.

## Verify the integration connection [#verify-the-integration-connection]

Open **Settings → Integrations** and check that the Jira integration connection
is active and advertises Events and Agent tools.
