Configure the Add-on

Before starting add-on configuration, make sure you have the Application ID and Client secret value created from the Configure a new Microsoft app steps earlier.

To use the integration, you have to configure the add-on to be able to communicate with your Microsoft online account through the new app you created in the steps earlier. To configure the add-on, complete the following steps:

  1. In Jira, click on the Jira settings/gear action from the navigation menu on the left, and choose the Apps item.
  2. Under the Excel Online Integration heading, choose Configuration.

  3. On the Configuration screen, enter your Microsoft domain, the Application ID, and the Client Secret value. After entering these values, a Test button will appear. Click this button to confirm that the Microsoft app and Jira add-on have been set up properly. If the test fails, a message describing the issue will be displayed on the screen. If you need additional help, please contact us.
  4. Click the Save button.

Now the setup is complete, continue to the Jira Add-On Configuration page for more information on configuring the add-on.
