I need a small-footprint integration that will listen to one or more external data sources of my choosing and, without manual intervention, turn that information into correctly-formatted Jira issues (or update existing ones) inside our project. The focus is pure issue creation and management—no workflow transitions or reporting tweaks—so the solution has to take raw payloads, map the fields I specify, hit the Jira Cloud REST API, and confirm success back to me. You’re free to work in Python, Node.js, or another language you can support long-term, but the result must run headless on a Linux VM. Webhooks or scheduled polling are both fine as long as the sync is reliable and includes error logging and basic retry logic. Acceptance will hinge on three things: • Clean, well-commented source code that I can redeploy. • A step-by-step README covering setup, environment variables, and how to add new field mappings or additional source tools later. • A quick demo showing an external event flowing all the way through to a live Jira issue with the correct summary, description, labels, and priority. If you’ve already connected SaaS platforms to Jira before, that’s a plus; just let me know which APIs you’ve worked with and how you handled authentication.
