Linking an event with an URL

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

You can manually link an existing event to a Jira issue by copying and pasting a URL to the event.

Retrieving the event URL

To link an event using a URL, you need to find its URL in Google Calendar. To do so, access its menu options in your Google Calendar.

To retrieve the URL:

  1. In Google Calendar, click your event.

  1. Click the event’s menu and select either Print or Publish event.
