FAQ

Common questions about Git-Zen for Jira

Do my Zendesk agents need Jira seats?
No. Git-Zen acts on behalf of a single Jira service user, so agents create and update Jira issues without each holding a Jira license.
Does this work with Jira Server or Data Center?
Jira Cloud is supported today. Jira Server and Data Center support is on the roadmap; contact us if it's blocking you and we'll prioritize.
