Arkweaver + Jira integration
Arkweaver creates Jira Epics from revenue-ranked demand, keeps status in sync both ways, and emails the accounts that asked when an Epic is marked Built.
What syncs between Arkweaver and Jira
- Arkweaver creates Epics in Jira from the demand it identifies, with the actual customer context attached.
- Arkweaver keeps status in sync in both directions as an Epic moves through Jira.
- Arkweaver sets priority on new Epics based on how many distinct accounts requested the underlying feature.
- Arkweaver reads your Jira projects so you can choose which to sync from and where new Epics are created.
- When an Epic is marked Built, Arkweaver emails the specific customers and prospects who asked for that feature.
- Arkweaver maps your Jira statuses to its own feature statuses: Proposed, Planned, In Progress, and Built.
How to connect Jira to Arkweaver
- Go to Settings, then Group Settings, then the Integrations tab, and add the Jira integration.
- Enter your Jira instance URL (something like your-team.atlassian.net), your email, and an API token generated from your own Jira account under Personal Settings, API Tokens.
- Once connected, Arkweaver fetches your Jira projects. Pick which ones to sync from and which one new Epics should be created in.
- Load your Jira statuses and map them to Arkweaver’s feature statuses (Proposed, Planned, In Progress, Built) so both systems stay in sync.
What you can do once connected
- Push a feature Arkweaver has surfaced straight into your Jira backlog from the feature page.
- Stop a request ten customers raised from sitting at the bottom of the backlog, by setting Epic priority from distinct account count.
- Give whoever picks up an Epic the customer context behind it rather than a one-line summary.
- Email everyone who asked for a feature automatically the moment its Epic is marked Built.
Frequently asked questions
What does Arkweaver create in Jira?
Epics. Each one carries the customer context behind the request, and its priority is set automatically from how many distinct accounts asked for the underlying feature.
Does status flow both ways between Jira and Arkweaver?
Yes. Arkweaver keeps status in sync in both directions as the Epic moves through Jira. During setup you map your Jira statuses onto Arkweaver’s four feature statuses: Proposed, Planned, In Progress, and Built.
Can we limit which Jira projects are in scope?
Yes. After connecting, Arkweaver fetches your Jira projects and you choose which ones it syncs from, plus the single project where new Epics get created.
