Creating an event from Jira (Google Calendar)

Your Google account must be connected to Jira and the Google Calendar integration must be enabled.

You can create a new event directly in a Jira work item, which will automatically be linked.

To create a new event in a Jira work item:

1. Click the + Add Event button.

   

2. In the window that appears, fill out the Create Event form. Some fields have default values, which can be edited:

   1. Calendar contains your Google account’s default calendar.

   2. Summary contains the work item key, followed by the work item’s summary.

   3. Description contains a link to the Jira work item.

      

Select 🔍 next to the Start date or End date to copy a date from one of the work item’s date fields.

Participants that you add will receive an email invitation.

If you change tabs in the Calendar Event window while creating an event, you will lose your changes.

3. Click Create. The event will be created and automatically linked to your work item.
