n8n Jira Workflow: Create New Issue with Manual Trigger

Create a new Jira issue instantly—started by a manual trigger in n8n

This n8n workflow lets you create a new Jira issue whenever you run the automation manually. Perfect for quick triage, on-demand ticket creation, and getting updates into Jira without waiting for a separate event.

What this workflow does

• Manual Trigger: You start the workflow on demand using n8n’s Manual Trigger to initiate the run.
• Jira: Create Issue: The workflow then sends the required details to Jira to create a new issue in your specified project.
• Repeatable process: Run it whenever you need—ideal for creating tickets as part of an operational workflow or during testing and validation.

Use cases

• Operational triage: When a problem is identified, trigger the workflow manually to create a Jira issue for tracking and accountability.
• Testing and QA: Use manual runs to verify Jira connectivity and issue creation settings during setup.
• SaaS support handling: Create tickets on demand for issues reported internally (e.g., during incident review or escalation).
• Automation engineering: Validate how Jira issue fields map from workflow inputs before wiring it to additional triggers.

Technical details

• Workflow type: n8n automation workflow
• Nodes / tech stack: Jira, Manual Trigger
• Core integration: Uses the Jira node to create a new issue based on the workflow run initiated by the manual trigger.
