How to setup Facebook and Jira Software Cloud integration

As a rule, business processes require the use of a whole range of services. Some tools are responsible for lead generation, others for storing and processing data, others for implementing marketing strategies, etc. There is a regular task of synchronizing information in all these systems. Therefore, data transfer is one of the most common routine tasks. In our case, we need to convert new Facebook leads into requests on the Jira Software Cloud side. The more orders will be received through a social network, the more time will be taken by the work of transferring information. In addition, the risks of errors in data transfer and the likelihood of missing a lead increase.

The SaveMyLeads service is a simple tool for setting up automatic transfer of leads from Facebook to other systems. Communication is created in just a few minutes through the web interface. To set up Facebook and Jira Software Cloud integration, you do not need to involve programmers or learn the API. Now we will take a closer look at how to set up an automated data migration process.
