Integration Hub for Jira

#iHub
Welcome to the world of integrations!
...
Since integrations can be triggered from either an issue event, scheduled job or (coming soon) a post function the possibilities are endless. REST Request actions can also be chained, using the response from the previous RINT iHub REST request action as input for the chained integration(s).
For non REST calls checkout our Extensions like Kafka.
