Prerequisites: Install the Git Integration for Jira app on your Jira Cloud instance.

Go to Apps ➜ Git Integration for Jira ➜ Settings ➜ Manage Integrations.
Click Add integration.
Select Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) or Azure DevOps Repos.
Select the Webhook indexing panel.

Webhook indexing has limited features but does not require firewall configuration.
Click Add integration. The webhook settings screen appears.
Do not click Finish yet. Copy the Webhook URL and Secret key, then configure service hooks in Microsoft using the steps below.

Open your Microsoft project.
Go to Project Settings ➜ Service hooks.
Click Create subscription (or if subscriptions already exist).
Select Web Hooks and click Next.
Create three separate subscriptions for these events:

Event Purpose

Code pushed Indexes commits and branches

Pull request created Indexes new pull requests

Pull request updated Indexes pull request changes
Set all FILTERS to Any and click Next.
Configure the action:

a. Paste the Webhook URL in the URL box.

b. Paste the Secret key in the Basic authentication password box. IMPORTANT
Test the configuration.
Click Finish to save.
Repeat steps 3-9 for each event type.
Return to Jira and click Finish.

Event	Purpose
Code pushed	Indexes commits and branches
Pull request created	Indexes new pull requests
Pull request updated	Indexes pull request changes

Follow the same steps as project-level setup, but select a specific repository in step 6 instead of Any.

If service hooks fail, verify the URL and Basic authentication password settings.
Find Webhook URL and Secret key in Actions ➜ Edit integration.
IMPORTANT Repositories appear only after triggering push or pull request events.

To display commits in Jira, include the Jira issue key in your commit messages. See Linking git commits to Jira issues.

The Git Roll Up tab is supported for Microsoft webhook indexing integration.

Microsoft webhooks provide commit messages, hashes, dates, and author information only. Changed file information is not available.
