Key Features & Sync Details
Real-Time Sync: Automatically aligns projects, issues, teams, and time entries between Timely and Jira. Changes in one tool appear in the other within seconds.
- Mapping: Jira Projects, Workspaces, and Tasks sync to Timely Projects, Clients, and Time Entries.
- Worklogs: Every time entry logged in Timely is instantly synced back to Jira as an accurate worklog, ensuring Jira remains your trusted source of truth.

AI-Powered Automation:
- Time spent on all Jira tickets is automatically tracked.
- Timely’s AI learns from your logged entries to draft complete timesheets for your Jira activity.
Customization: You can set up the integration to fit your specific workflow by selecting the projects you want to sync and aligning your teams and clients.
Security: Uses OAuth authentication, encrypted data transfer, and enterprise-grade reliability. Built-in safeguards prevent duplication, such as Timely automatically recreating worklogs deleted in Jira.

- Reporting: Access complete time data for budgeting, forecasting, and unified reporting across both tools. Generate accurate worklogs for improved sprint planning and retrospectives (comparing estimated vs. actual time).

Ideal For: Agile teams, Project Managers, Agencies, and Engineering teams needing unified reporting and accurate, consistent data.

What Gets Synced:
- Jira Projects → Timely Projects
- Workspaces → Clients
- Tasks → Time entries
- Jira Labels → Timely tags
- Timely time entries → Jira worklogs
Task Sync Rules
If tasks are synced and some assignees on the task are not assigned to the project in Timely, the task is not imported
Jira issues appear as "memories" on the Timely timeline - they can be attached to time entries but don't necessarily create full Timely Task objects
