What can I integrate between TOPdesk and Jira?

ZigiOps can integrate any TOPdesk entity (Incidents, Changes, etc.) with any Jira issue type (Tasks, Bugs, Issues, etc.), allowing you to build custom workflows tailored to your processes and data models.

Out of the box, ZigiOps provides ready-made integration templates for the most common TOPdesk and Jira scenarios, including:

  • TOPdesk Incidents to Jira Tasks

  • Jira Tasks to TOPdesk Incidents

These templates serve as preconfigured starting points and can be customized or extended to support additional TOPdesk entities, Jira issue types, and business-specific workflows.
