Note about webhooks
Webhooks are an essential part of Zephyr integration with Jira. They are used to synchronize Zephyr and Jira requirements and information about defects.
Webhooks can be created in two ways:
Zephyr creates a pre-configured webhook automatically when you are mapping a project in Zephyr. In this case, there is no need to perform any additional actions, but you need to have a Jira account with special permissions (for example, Browse Projects). You can view the created webhook in Jira settings: go to ⚙ > System (under Jira Settings) > Webhooks (under Advanced).
Don’t delete this webhook, and don’t change its properties. It has all the needed settings enabled. Later, you can update the webhook, if needed.You, as an administrator, can create and manage webhooks manually. This can be useful if you do not have (or do not want to create) a Jira service account with permissions required for automatic webhook management.
