We have a new version of Outlook Email for Jira! This is the documentation for the old add-in. If you are looking for info about the new one, please click click here. |
The Outlook app uses oAuth 1.0a to connect to your JIRA instance. You need to create a new application link, so Outlook can connect to it. Please follow the instructions carefully - any misspelling could prevent JIRA for Outlook from working correctly.

SSL Certificate The whole communication between Outlook and JIRA is SSL encrypted so you need to add the certificate in the JIRA application link. There are two possibilities to get the certificate: - Recommended: Use the auto-generated certificate
As soon as you registered the JIRA instance with yasoon, we automatically generate a new certificate for you. The private one is already registered at our yasoon administration panel, the public key is certificate is shown on the Admin page of your JIRA addon (see image below).
- Create your own
If you need a custom SSL certificate, due to corporate requirements, please contact us for more information.
