What to do if your operation isn't supported#

If this node doesn't support the operation you want to do, you can use the HTTP Request node to call the service's API.

You can use the credential you created for this service in the HTTP Request node:

  1. In the HTTP Request node, select Authentication > Predefined Credential Type.
  2. Select the service you want to connect to.
  3. Select your credential.

Refer to Custom API operations for more information.

Refer to the official JQL documentation about Jira Query Language (JQL) to learn more about it.

Fetch issues for a specific project#

The Get All operation returns all the issues from Jira. To fetch issues for a particular project, you need to use Jira Query Language (JQL).

For example, if you want to receive all the issues of a project named n8n, you'd do something like this:

  • Select Get All from the Operation dropdown list.
  • Toggle Return All to true.
  • Select Add Option and select JQL.
  • Enter project=n8n in the JQL field.

This query will fetch all the issues in the project named n8n. Enter the name of your project instead of n8n to fetch all the issues for your project.
