Import your data from JIRA to Zoho Sprints

Import your data from JIRA to Zoho Sprints

As a first step, you will have to configure your JIRA account with your team in Zoho Sprints to which the data has to be imported.

 A few key points to know before you start to import
  • Only a Team Owner or Admin can carry out the configuration.
  • If you do not have a  dedicated Zoho Sprints team, you will not be able to configure your JIRA account with us. Write to support@zohosprints.com to subscribe to Zoho Sprints.
  • If you are on a free plan, you will only be able to import for 15 days from the day you activated your plan. You can upgrade your account to continue importing data when the trial expires.
  • You cannot import more than 25 projects at a time.
  • You cannot schedule multiple sequential imports at the same time.
