Connecting Jira
Link your Jira project so Releasedog can draft release notes from your completed issues.
Connecting Jira lets Releasedog turn completed issues into a draft changelog entry. You stay in control — nothing publishes until you approve it.
What you'll need
- A Jira Cloud site (on-prem Jira isn't supported yet).
- Permission to install OAuth apps on your Atlassian site.
- At least one project with issues you'd ship in a release.
Connect the integration
Open Settings → Integrations and click Connect Jira. You'll be sent to Atlassian to authorize Releasedog. After approving, pick the site and project you want to pull from.
Pick which issues count
By default, Releasedog pulls issues that moved to Done since your last published release. You can narrow this with a JQL filter — a common one is status = Done AND labels = changelog so only user-visible work shows up.
Draft a release
Click New release on the dashboard. Releasedog pulls matching issues, groups them into New, Better, and Fixed, and drafts a short entry per issue. Edit anything that doesn't read well, then publish.
Troubleshooting
If no issues show up, check that the JQL filter actually returns results in Jira and that the issues resolved after your last release date. If the connection drops, reconnect from Settings — Atlassian tokens occasionally expire.
