Why teams connect Atlassian and Salesforce

Sync what happens in Atlassian with the customer records in Salesforce, in real time and in both directions.

Support and engineering teams connect Atlassian to Salesforce to close the loop between customer-facing records and the tickets that resolve them. Escalating Salesforce Cases into Jira Issues, and reflecting issue status back on the Account, keeps sales and support informed without swivel-chair updates between the two systems.

Stacksync connects Jira Projects, Boards and Sprints, Issue Comments, Attachments in Atlassian to Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities in Salesforce with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Atlassian update the matching contact or account in Salesforce, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Atlassian can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Let support agents track engineering progress on escalated Cases from inside Salesforce.
  • 02 Prioritize Jira Issues using the Opportunity value of the Accounts they affect.
  • 03 Sync Issue Comments back to the Case so customers get updates without engineers entering Salesforce.
  • 04 Two-way sync between Jira issues and Salesforce cases so support escalations reach engineering without manual re-entry, and fixes flow back to the case.

Common sync patterns

Case escalation

a Salesforce Case escalated to engineering creates a Jira Issue with Attachments and stays in sync as status changes.

Account context on tickets

Salesforce Account and Contact details populate Jira Custom Fields so engineers see who is affected.

Roadmap visibility for sales

Jira Project and sprint progress on committed features is reflected on the related Salesforce Opportunity.

What you can sync between Atlassian and Salesforce

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Atlassian objects Salesforce objects How this pairing syncs
Issue Comments Threaded discussion synced into linked tickets in external systems. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce. Issue Comments is specific to Atlassian and Products and Price Books to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments Files on issues mirrored to paired records where needed. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated. Attachments is specific to Atlassian and Custom Objects to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Instance-specific fields (customfield IDs) that carry most business-specific data in syncs. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP. Custom Fields is specific to Atlassian and Accounts to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and Contacts to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Leads to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Opportunities to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian and Salesforce

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Atlassian Salesforce Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Salesforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Salesforce Atlassian Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Salesforce are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting).
