    • Or under Jira settings > Apps > Snipe-IT for Jira > Configuration

  2. Enter the publicly accessible URL of your Snipe-IT instance and an API key

Follow these instructions to generate an API key in the Snipe-IT web interface.

Once you confirm the URL and API key by clicking on Check connection and Save, the app will check if it can connect to your Snipe-IT instance and proceed to sync all assets with Jira.

The app will sync all assets from Snipe-IT to Jira once an hour. You can also start a sync manually by clicking on the Run manually button in the configuration.
