The connector syncs the following objects and entities:

Note: Archived projects and issues are not indexed.

Basic sync rules are identical for all connectors and are available by default.

This connector supports advanced sync rules for remote filtering. These rules cover complex query-and-filter scenarios that cannot be expressed with basic sync rules. Advanced sync rules are defined through a source-specific DSL JSON snippet.

Example 1: Queries to index content based on status of Jira issues.

[
  {
    "query": "project = Collaboration AND status = 'In Progress'"
  },
  {
    "query": "status IN ('To Do', 'In Progress', 'Closed')"
  }
]

Example 2: Query to index data based on priority of issues for given projects.

[
  {
    "query": "priority in (Blocker, Critical) AND project in (ProjA, ProjB, ProjC)"
  }
]

Example 3: Query to index data based on assignee and created time.

[
  {
    "query": "assignee is EMPTY and created < -1d"
  }
]
