How Does the ITSM to DevOps Integration Work?

ZigiOps acts as a secure integration layer between ITSM and DevOps systems, using their native APIs to read and write data without modifying either system.

  • No scripting or custom development required

  • All configuration is done through the ZigiOps UI

  • Supports polling-based and event-driven (webhook) synchronization

  • Start from a pre-built template or build a custom integration from scratch

  • Apply field mappings, transformations, conditions, and filters per use case

  • Does not permanently store transferred business data

ZigiOps can be deployed on-premises or used as a cloud service, depending on your security and compliance requirements.


Setup

Follow the steps below to enable an ITSM to DevOps integration using ZigiOps.

  1. Log in to your ZigiOps instance.

  2. Navigate to ZigiOps - Configurator.

  3. Load the desired integration template (or create a new one from scratch).

  4. Select the corresponding Integrated Systems.

  5. Click Save to continue.

  6. Enable the integration using the slider button located in the middle section of the screen.

Once enabled, ZigiOps starts synchronizing data based on the configured mappings and rules. Templates can be adjusted at any time without restarting the integration.
