Sync Jira Sprints with Azure DevOps using Zapier

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to sync Jira sprints with Azure DevOps using a Zapier automation, so work items created or updated in Azure DevOps automatically reflect in your Jira project. The integration eliminates manual data entry between the two platforms, keeping cross-team sprint data consistent in real time.

Steps

1. Log in to Zapier, click "Create", and select "Zaps" to begin building your automation.
2. Click "Trigger" to start configuring the trigger step of your Zap.
3. Search for Azure DevOps and select it as your trigger app.
4. Choose a trigger event, such as "New Work Item" or "Work Item Updated", to define what starts the Zap.
5. Connect your Azure DevOps account and select the project you want to track.
6. Add Jira Software Cloud as the Action App in your Zap.
7. Select an action event, such as "Create Sprint" or "Update Sprint", to define what happens in Jira.
8. Connect your Jira account to authorize the action step.
9. Map Azure DevOps work item fields — such as title, description, and status — to the corresponding Jira sprint fields.
10. Run a test to verify that Azure DevOps work items sync correctly with Jira sprints.
11. Click "Publish" to activate your Zap and start the live automation.
