Jira Time Tracking Integration

Create Clockify workspace

Sign up for free

Invite team to Clockify

Add emails of people who need to track time on Jira tasks.

Install Clockify plugin for Jira

Get Clockify's plugin for Jira on Atlassian Marketplace. Both Cloud and Server Jira are supported, as well as Jira Service Desk. Once installed, Clockify will show up for all users in your Jira organization when they open a task.

Copy API key

Each employee, once they have a Clockify account and join your workspace, has to go to their Profile settings and generate and copy their personal API key.

Start timer

When timer starts, Clockify will pick up description, task, project, and label from Jira, and try to match it with information in Clockify. You can also fill and change information on your own.

If the user has permissions, the integration will create missing project, task, and tag in Clockify.

Stop timer

You can stop the timer in Jira, or via one of the Clockify apps (browser, mobile, or desktop). If you start a timer on another task, the running timer for previous task will be automatically stopped.

Once the timer is stopped, the entry will be saved in Clockify. If you stop the timer in Jira, a time log will also be created in Jira (which gets added to the "Time Tracking" field in Jira, if you have it enabled).

Add time manually

Your team can also manually log hours they've worked on a task by switching to manual mode in Jira. Or, they can open Clockify and fill their online timesheet.

Run reports

Break down data, filter by project and user, and export data in web version.
