Configure Snowflake

To export Jira issue data to Snowflake, you will need a database in Snowflake, user credentials to access that database, and your Snowflake account identifier.

If you do not already have a database for exports, create one in Snowflake by following the steps below.

  1. Log in to Snowflake, click on the Databases icon in the top left, and then click on the Create icon beneath it.
  2. Supply a name for your new database, and click Finish.

Next, make sure that you have the user credentials necessary to access and modify this database and any schemas within in where you would like to store exports. The user will need to have the following privileges:

  • CREATE TABLE
  • DELETE TABLE
  • INSERT
  • SELECT
  • UPDATE
  • USE SCHEMA

Please see the Snowflake Access Control documentation for additional information on these privileges and how to apply them to a user in your instance.

Finally, you will need your Snowflake account identifier. The preferred method of identifying your account is the format <orgname>-<account_name>. This information can be found in the menu at the bottom left of Snowflake. Click on the menu and make a note of your organization name and account identifier as shown below:


If you are having trouble finding the necessary identifiers, please refer to the Snowflake documentation.

With a database, schema(s), user credentials, and account identifier, you're ready to move on to the next steps and configure the Jira add-on.

Configure the Add-On

To use the integration, you have to configure the add-on.
