Integrate Jira and Azure AD to automatically triage requests by location

Use case benefits

Fetch user details from Azure AD to automatically triage requests

Integrate Azure AD with Jira and fetch key reporter details

Elements Connect allows you to easily integrate Jira Service Management to Microsoft Azure AD and fetch data automatically from your user directory to display it in your tickets. With this solution, you can get advanced data on the reporter of a ticket, automatically based on his user connection ID, such as office location, department, or contact details.


Automatically triage request to location-based queues

Elements Connect mirror fields can be used in filters for queues, so it’s easy to triage requests based on the office location of a reporter. As soon as a request is created, it will automatically be added to the right queue so your IT team never loses sight of it.

Customize where and how you display Active Directory information

Make sure the information you add to the issue remains clear and pertinent. Connected items can be displayed just for agents, and hidden from the reporter to avoid polluting the issue view. To organize and clearly display multiple details from Azure AD, take advantage of all the template possibilities with Apache FreeMarker.

FAQ

What ADs can I use with Elements Connect? Can I get data from Okta?

You can use any AD that offers a REST API with one of the authentication types we support, or that’s built on a SQL database.

Can I hide details from customers?

Yes, you can hide directory details on the customer view and only show them to agents, for example the name of the manager (they already know who their manager is after all).

How can I get help setting up the connection to Azure AD?
