How to Import Issue Links Data from Jira into Google Sheets

Accessing your Jira Issue Links data in Google Sheets helps you understand relationships between issues and report on dependencies.

Instead of manual exports, you can set up a live connection that updates automatically.

This guide shows you how to import your Jira Issue Links data into Google Sheets using Coefficient.

Importing your Jira Issue Links data into Google Sheets is simple with Coefficient. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Install and Connect Coefficient

First, you need to add Coefficient to your Google Sheet.

• Open Google Sheets.
• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons.
• Search for “Coefficient” and install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Once installed, open the Coefficient add-on from Extensions > Coefficient > Launch.

In the Coefficient sidebar, click “Import from…” and find Jira in the list of connectors. You’ll be guided to connect your Jira account securely.

Step 2: Import Jira Issue Links Data

After connecting, you’ll see options for importing data from Jira.

• Select “Objects”.
• Choose “Issue Links” from the list of available objects.

You can then select specific fields, apply filters, and sort the data before importing. Once ready, click the “Import” button.

Your Jira Issue Links data will load directly into your Google Sheet.

Step 3: Set Up Auto-Refresh (Optional)

To keep your Issue Links data in Google Sheets always up to date, set up an automatic refresh schedule.

In the Coefficient sidebar, find your imported data.

• Click the “Refresh” button or the three-dot menu next to your import.
• Select “Schedule Refresh”.
• Choose your desired frequency (e.g., daily, hourly, weekly) and time.

Coefficient will now automatically update your sheet with the latest data from Jira based on your schedule.
