Connect Gmail to Jira

Automate Gmail and Jira with AI

Bug reports and feature asks buried in Gmail should become Jira issues with the thread intact. OpenClaw on Operator reads the message, creates the issue with labels and priority from the body, links the Gmail thread for context, and sends a status reply when the issue moves or ships. Ask what is blocking a customer and it lists open Jira work tied to their email address.

It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works

Tell the agent what you want to happen between Gmail and Jira, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Gmail, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Jira without you mapping a single field.

You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.

Common questions about Gmail and Jira

How do I connect Gmail and Jira to Operator?
You authorize Gmail and Jira once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
What can my agent do across Gmail and Jira?
You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right Gmail and Jira actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
Can my agent keep Gmail and Jira in sync?
Yes. It can watch Gmail and act in Jira, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
