Connecting Your Jira Sites to Huddle

When you connect Jira to Huddle, you're authorizing access to all Jira sites (formerly called instances) associated with your Atlassian account in a single authorization step. However, you'll select which specific sites to grant access to during the authorization process.

How Jira Authorization Works

Jira uses an Atlassian account-level OAuth authorization model with site selection. When you click "Connect Jira" and sign in through Atlassian's authorization screen, you'll see a list of all Jira sites associated with your Atlassian account and choose which ones to authorize.

This means:

One connection can cover multiple sites. You can select one or more Jira sites during the authorization flow.
You choose which sites to include. Atlassian's OAuth flow presents a site selection screen where you pick which Jira sites to connect.
New sites require updating your connection. If you gain access to a new Jira site later, you'll need to reauthorize to include it.

How This Differs From Other Platforms

Jira's approach is a hybrid model. Unlike Asana, ClickUp, and Basecamp—where a single connection automatically grants access to all workspaces—Jira lets you explicitly choose which sites to include. But unlike Linear and Monday.com, you don't need to go through a completely separate OAuth flow for each site; you can select multiple sites in a single authorization.

This gives you control over which client or organization sites you share with Huddle while keeping the connection process streamlined.

A Note on Jira's Structure

Atlassian organizes Jira access around "sites" (like yourcompany.atlassian.net). Each site can contain multiple Jira projects. When you authorize a site, Huddle gains access to all projects within that site where you have permission.

What Huddle Can Access

After authorization, Huddle can retrieve your issues, projects, and site information from the Jira sites you selected. We only pull the data needed to display your tasks in your Huddle dashboard.

Adding More Sites Later

If you need to connect additional Jira sites:

Go to your Huddle integrations settings
Click "Manage Jira Connection"
Reauthorize through Atlassian and select the additional sites you want to include
