Big minus for requiring a dedicated agent.. we use 1 agent for custom integrations and see no reason why this should not be able to use the same user.

It would have been really great if it allowed to map Zendesk System fields with Jira System fields e.g. Priority, Assignee, Status. ~Sachin Ghume Asst. Manager - Support

If you use CROWD and want to integrate Zendesk with your JIRA, please read this and post a comment to let Zendesk know what is really needed for larger shops: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000692987-Feature-Request-JIRA-integration-using-CROWD-and-other-external-directories Thanks for your support.

This Addon is totally unusable when you want to change the integration. If the connection is broken you are absolutely unable to change the plugin config. Even when you reinstall it.

It's a practical integration, however the main setback for larger user groups is the inability to expose only limited list of projects, which can be used with this integration. Main use-case, let's say a company has dozens of projects for various services, however only few of them are dedicated to be used for this "cross-platform" communication between development and Zendesk staff. By allowing all projects to be selected and create tasks on them, increases the error margin and slows down task creation due to too many projects available.

It works well, but the problem is it's slow to look up zendesk information; it probably takes two seconds or so after I load a JIRA issue before I can start working with it, because it's hung up waiting for response from zendesk. Since probably only 10% of our JIRA issues are actually related to a zendesk ticket 90% of the lookups don't find anything anyway. Then whenever I make any change to the issue it does this lookup all over again. This really slows down our use of JIRA. It would be nice if there were an option to configure the Zendesk add-on so it would only try to look up zendesk tickets if a certain label were applied to the JIRA. Or a special link type that would be explicitly created for a zendesk ticket. Or even an option to instead of always automatically connecting to zendesk for every ticket, have a button to click in the JIRA that would request the lookup--that would be nice because even when there is a Zendesk associated with a JIRA, much of the time when we're working with the issue we don't need to worry about what the Zendesk ticket status is. Obviously not everyone would want this; some will prefer the lookup being automatic as it is today. But for teams like ours where the large majority of our JIRAs are not related to zendesk it would be worth it to reduce the frustration... when we're doing bug scrubs, sprint planning, etc. and walking through JIRAs quickly in meetings, waiting for this lookup on every issue before we can start working with it is a real productivity killer.

Better than the Legacy JIRA Connector but still lacks a number of features such as easy field to field mapping, notification schemes, etc

Hi Pete,

Field mapping (and syncing) feature is supposed by the integration, you can find more details here.

We would love to hear about your other ideas, please email us at integrations@product.zendesk.com

fairly decent plugin, shame it needs a dedicated admin user to install (and is tied to this user as well, spamming that user with subscriptions on zendesk linked issues) Also updates to the plugin are lagging behind with regard to JIRA, delaying even minor updates of JIRA. Maybe post a time frame on the marketplace page to give some idea how long an update of JIRA should be delayed to keep the plugin functioning.

Hi Finke,

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.

The integration does indeed requires a dedicated Zendesk account to work. This way JIRA users don't require their own Zendesk login. Since it's a dedicated integration account, there is no need to check emails for this account. Something that many customers find convenient.

With regards to supporting JIRA updates, we do exhaustive testing for each major release and that can take time. Minor releases should be safe to take.

I am sorry, this plugin has lacked off functionality: 1. Any modifications done to ticket in jira or zendesk should not affect each other( eg: changing the title in jira should not modify zendesk ticket, comment update in jira should not update zendesk etc.) 2. Ability to manually link multiple zendesk tickets to jira case and vice versa. 3. Closing a ticket in jira should send a private comment in zendesk. ( but should not update status.) 4. Unfortunately, on JIRA side does not have possiblity for map Porject with zendesk. Therefore I have seen some perf regression. Will be nice , if you get some advice and answer. Thank you
