Prerequisites

Before you start you need:

  • Administrator rights in your Atlassian organisation (org‑level admin, not just site admin).

  • The ability to create an API key (see below).

  • Be on managed domains in Atlassian - to check visit this article

Create an Atlassian API key

  1. Sign in at Atlassian Admin.

  2. Click the Organisation name (top‑left).

  3. Select Settings.

  4. In the left‑hand menu choose API keys.

  5. Click Create API key.

  6. Enter a descriptive label — for example “Viio Integration”.

  7. Set an expiration date (Viio recommends one year).

  8. Click Create and immediately copy the generated key. You will not be able to see it again.

Setup

  1. Open Viio → Integrations and choose Atlassian.

  2. Paste the Key you copies in the previous tutorial

  3. Include your Atlassian domain, it should be in the following format: https://your-domain.atlassian.net

  4. Choose if you have Atlassian Guard enabled or not - if you do not know this you can skip defining it and change on a later stage

Setting up other Atlassian product API keys such as Jira or Trello can be done on a later stage.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Issue

Quick fix

“Invalid API key” error

Check that the key was pasted without spaces and has not expired. Generate a new key if needed.

No data after 30 minutes

Confirm the Atlassian admin account still has org‑level access and that the integration shows “Connected” in Viio.

Need higher‑frequency syncs

Viio refreshes Atlassian data nightly. Contact Viio Support if you require a different cadence.
