Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreshBooks, Jira, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the FreshBooks and Jira integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreshBooks and Jira (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect FreshBooks and Jira
FreshBooks + Jira + Slack: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks, the automation checks if it is overdue. If overdue, it creates a corresponding task in Jira and notifies the account manager in Slack via a direct message.
Jira + FreshBooks + Google Sheets: When a Jira issue is updated, this automation logs the time spent on the task, creates a corresponding invoice in FreshBooks, and updates a Google Sheet with the invoice details.
