# Jira

## Overview

Integrating Cosine with Jira streamlines your workflow by creating Cosine tasks directly from your Jira issues. Assign the issue to yourself or a teammate, send the issue to Cosine, and keep using Jira in your usual way. Cosine runs quietly in the background, ensuring your teams stay updated and your tasks flow seamlessly.

## Configure

To integrate Jira:

1. Navigate to the **Integrations** page in your Cosine team.
2. Select **Jira** from available integrations 
3. Select **Enable** to initiate the connection
4. **Authorize Workspace:** If you are part of multiple Atlassian workspaces, select the appropriate one. 

**Note:** You must be an admin in the selected workspace site

## How it works

With the Jira integration enabled, you can easily initiate Cosine tasks:

#### **Using Custom Cosine Labels**

1. Set up a unique custom label in your project (e.g. `SendToCosine` ).

2. Adding this label to any Jira issue automatically creates a Cosine task using the issue's context. Cosine will also post a comment in the Jira issue with a link to the newly created task, so everyone can track progress or jump into Cosine as needed.

#### **Selecting Jira Issues in Cosine**

When creating a new task in Cosine, you can:&#x20;

* View your Jira issues
* Select one to serve as context for the new task.
* Optionally add a prompt or additional details before coming task creation

### Configuring Custom Cosine Labels

Visit **Project Settings** within Cosine to create, update or delete custom Cosine Jira Labels. Ensure you choose a label name unique to your Atlassian setup and installation

***

## Note

Each connected Jira site can have **up to 5 labels** associated with it.&#x20;

If you need to update or change your existing labels across different projects within a team, you can easily do so at any time by removing one or more existing labels and adding new ones.
