Architecture-to-project linking

Set up Jira automation

Create a Jira automation rule that listens for incoming webhooks from Archyl.

Configure Archyl webhooks

Add a webhook notification in Archyl pointing to your Jira automation endpoint.

Architecture events create Jira issues

When conformance violations are detected or drift scores drop, Jira issues are created automatically for your team to triage.

Auto-Create Issues for Violations

Conformance rule violations automatically create Jira issues with context about what rule was broken and which elements are affected.

Drift Alerts as Tickets

When drift scores drop below thresholds, create Jira tickets so the team can plan documentation updates.

Change Request Tracking

Architecture change requests in Archyl can trigger Jira issue creation for planning and estimation.

Architecture Context in Tickets

Link Jira issues to specific C4 elements, ADRs, or conformance rules for full traceability.

Sprint Planning Integration

Architecture debt from conformance violations flows into sprint planning as trackable issues.

Bidirectional Awareness

Engineering teams see architecture context in their Jira workflow; architects see project progress on their architecture items.

Create Jira automation rule

In Jira, create an automation rule with an incoming webhook trigger.

Configure Archyl webhook

Add the Jira webhook URL in Archyl's notification settings.

Map events to issue types

Configure which Archyl events create which types of Jira issues (bugs, tasks, stories).

Does Archyl have a native Jira integration?

Archyl connects to Jira through webhooks and automation rules. This approach is flexible and works with any Jira configuration without requiring an app installation.

Can I link ADRs to Jira epics?

Yes. Through webhooks, you can create Jira issues linked to ADRs, and reference Jira ticket IDs in ADR descriptions for bidirectional traceability.
