This guides explains how read a topic in Kafka using Integrations Hub for Jira and create a ticket in Jira or update a ticket.
First step is to create an inbound integration, this will allow iHub to read messages posted on the Kafka queue. That is called the WHEN section of the inbound integration. On the THEN section you will need to specify the Action that iHub will do in Jira. Actions in the THEN sections are defined in the outbound integrations menu. So the inbound integration will pass the data received down to a outbound action, in many cases there is also a need to route it to the correct outbound integration based on a condition in the message received, this is done in the IF section.
The outbound message defined in this tutorial is one for Create Issue and one for Updating an Issue. This is part 2 of the tutorial.
