What does this automation do?
A task added to your plan is rewritten by an agent into your team’s issue format and filed on the right Jira project.
What can you do with it?
- Get from a line in a plan to a properly written issue
- File it with the project, type and labels your board expects
- Stop re-typing the same work into a second tool
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When Taskade — Task Added
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Issue Writer")
- Then Jira — Create Issue
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Issue Writer" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your Jira projects, issue types, components and labels, remembers how earlier tasks from this team were filed, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for teams who plan in Taskade and deliver in Jira. A task added to your plan is rewritten by an agent into your team’s issue format and filed on the right Jira project.
How do you set it up?
- Open the "Automations" tab in your workspace.
