# Push Cobalt Findings to Jira

Streamline your remediation workflows with the Jira integration.


:::info
Learn how auto-push works and how to push findings to Jira manually.

:::

## **How Auto-Push Works**

Once an [Organization Owner](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/user-roles-and-permissions-oCij6uRrUR#h-organization-owner) or [Member](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/user-roles-and-permissions-oCij6uRrUR#h-organization-member) has enabled the Jira integration on a pentest, findings start to automatically synchronize with the selected Jira project. The **Auto-Push** option is enabled by default.

Here’s how auto-push works:

* When a new finding in the **Pending Fix** state is created on a pentest in Cobalt, a new issue is created in your Jira project.
  * The issue status in Jira is based on the project configuration. It’s the first status in your project workflow, for example, To Do.
  * If the integration is enabled on a pentest with existing findings, Jira tickets are created for them retroactively.
* Findings whose [state](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/finding-states-De6IE4W5Zw) is not Pending Fix are not automatically pushed to Jira. If the finding state changes to Pending Fix, the finding is automatically pushed.
* Once an issue is created in Jira, the issue ID appears on the finding in Cobalt under **External Issue Tracking**. Click the link to navigate to the issue.

## **Turn Auto-Push on or Off**

As an [Organization Owner](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/user-roles-and-permissions-oCij6uRrUR#h-organization-owner) or [Member](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/user-roles-and-permissions-oCij6uRrUR#h-organization-member), you can turn auto-push on or off for specific pentests as needed.


1. In Cobalt, go to **Integrations** > **Jira** > **Configuration**.
2. For the desired pentest, turn the **Auto-Push** toggle on or off.

When auto-push is turned off, Jira issue statuses are still synchronized with Cobalt finding states.

## **Push Findings Manually**

As a [Pentest Team Member](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/user-roles-and-permissions-oCij6uRrUR#h-pentest-team-member), you can push findings to Jira manually—if they’re not already synchronized. This may be needed if:

* [Auto-push](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/push-cobalt-findings-to-jira-cdNUJlnblj#h-how-auto-push-works) is turned off on a pentest; or
* The [finding state](https://docs.cobalt.io/en-us/articles/finding-states-De6IE4W5Zw) is other than Pending Fix, even though auto-push is enabled. If you want to push findings in other states, you can do it manually.

To push a finding to Jira manually:


1. On the pentest page, navigate to the **Findings** tab, and select the desired finding.
2. Select **External Issue Tracking**, then select **Create issue in JIRA**.
