Zendesk + Jira

Send Zendesk Feedback to Jira — AI-Structured, One Click

There is no native Zendesk-to-Jira integration that adds structure. Distil fills that gap — auto-importing your Zendesk tickets, using AI to structure them into Jira-ready issues with all fields pre-filled, and pushing them with a single click.

The Zendesk-to-Jira workflow via Distil

Three steps from Zendesk ticket to Jira issue.

1

Connect Zendesk — auto-imports tickets on a schedule

Connect your Zendesk account via OAuth and configure your import filters: tags (e.g., feature_request, feedback), status (new, open, pending), and priority level. Distil polls hourly and imports matching tickets automatically.

2

AI structures each ticket into a Distil Card

Distil's AI reads the raw ticket and extracts: a precise problem statement, affected user segment, severity level, root cause analysis, workaround (if any), and success criteria. What was a messy ticket is now a structured product card ready for engineering.

Severity level
Success criteria

3

Accept the card and push to Jira

Review the Distil card, make any edits, and push to Jira with one click. The Jira issue is created with summary, description, priority, and a link to the originating Zendesk ticket. Full traceability from customer complaint to engineering issue.
