Jira Cloud webhooks

Issue, comment, sprint, project and user changes.

Events

  • jira:issue_created
  • jira:issue_updated
  • comment_created
  • sprint_started

Signature

Header X-Hub-Signature: 'sha256=' + HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body with the webhook secret, hex encoded, for webhooks with a secret. Older webhooks have no signature.

āœ“ A bin checks Jira Cloud signatures: add the webhook secret under Signature verification (GitHub).

Check a Jira Cloud signature with the free tool (use the GitHub preset).

Retries

Jira Cloud retries a few times with backoff.

See a retry schedule in the calculator.
