Why Connect Height to Jira?

Height uses a REST API while Jira uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Manually copying data between Height and Jira wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Task updates in Height are invisible to the team using Jira, leading to duplicated effort and missed deadlines

Student enrolment data in Height and billing records in Jira are managed separately, causing discrepancies

Reporting across Height and Jira requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Height and Jira aligned
