How it works
Connect your Jira instance in minutes and start sending bugs to Jira automatically.
Connect once
Enter your Jira URL, email, and API token. Choose your default project and issue type. That's it.
Auto-create enabled
Every new client bug submission automatically creates a Jira ticket with video, description, and technical details.
Note: This is a one-way integration (Lantern → Jira). When clients submit bugs in Lantern, Jira tickets are created automatically. Your dev team works in Jira as usual. When the issue is resolved, update the client-facing status in Lantern manually. This keeps your internal dev workflow separate from client-facing communication.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Jira integration work?▼
Connect your Jira Cloud instance with an API token. Choose a default project and issue type. When clients submit bugs in Lantern, Jira tickets are created automatically with video links, descriptions, and technical details embedded. Takes 5 minutes to set up.
Can I map different clients to different Jira projects?▼
Yes. Set an organization-wide default project, then override it per client. ACME Corp's bugs go to the ACME project, TechCo's bugs go to the TECH project, all automatically. Perfect for agencies managing multiple clients in separate Jira projects.
Does status sync back from Jira to Lantern?▼
No, this is a one-way integration (Lantern → Jira). When a client submits a bug in Lantern, it automatically creates a Jira ticket. Your dev team works in Jira as usual. When the issue is resolved, you update the client-facing status in Lantern manually. This keeps your internal dev workflow separate from client-facing communication.
Can clients see our Jira tickets?▼
No. Clients only see Lantern's interface. Jira tickets are created for your internal dev team only. This separation means clients don't see internal comments, time estimates, or technical details.
What information transfers to Jira?▼
Bug title, description, Loom video link, client name, priority level, and any custom fields you map. The Loom video is embedded directly in the Jira description so developers can watch it without leaving Jira.
Do I need to manually create tickets in both systems?▼
No. Create once in Lantern (or client submits), and Lantern automatically creates the Jira ticket. You never duplicate work.
Can I choose which bugs go to Jira?▼
Yes. You can set rules to auto-create Jira tickets only for certain priorities, projects, or clients. Or manually trigger Jira creation for specific issues.
Do clients need Jira accounts?▼
No. That's the whole point. Clients use Lantern's simple portal to submit bugs with video. Your dev team works in Jira. Clients never see Jira's complexity. No training, no user licenses, no confusion.
Does this work with WordPress sites?▼
Yes. Lantern works with any website—WordPress, custom builds, React apps, anything. Clients submit bugs via portal (no WordPress plugin required). Issues automatically create Jira tickets regardless of your tech stack.
What Jira versions are supported?▼
Currently Jira Cloud only (e.g., yourcompany.atlassian.net). Jira Server and Data Center support planned for Q2 2026. If you need Server/DC support sooner, contact hello@lanternhq.app.
Is this better than using Jira alone for client bugs?▼
Much better. Jira is built for development teams, not client communication. Clients find it overwhelming and confusing. Lantern gives clients a simple portal while keeping your team in Jira. Video bug reports automatically create Jira tickets—best of both worlds.
