When to Use This Skill

- Understanding Jira event types and payloads
Verification (core)
For admin webhooks (created on the Jira admin WebHooks page or via
POST /rest/webhooks/1.0/webhook) saved with a secret, Jira Cloud signs the
raw request body with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on that secret. It sends the digest in
the X-Hub-Signature header (not X-Hub-Signature-256) using the WebSub
method=signature format, i.e. sha256=<hex>. Verify the raw body before
parsing JSON and compare timing-safe.
Admin webhooks without a
secretare unsigned. App webhooks use a different scheme: Connect descriptor webhooks get a JWT signed with the app'ssharedSecret, and OAuth 2.0 dynamic webhooks (POST /rest/api/3/webhook) get a bearer JWT signed with the app's client secret, both in theAuthorizationheader. See references/verification.md.
Node:
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifyJiraWebhook(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
const [method, sig] = (signatureHeader || '').split('=');
if (method !== 'sha256' || !sig) return false;
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('hex');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig, 'hex'), Buffer.from(expected, 'hex'));
} catch {
return false; // length mismatch = invalid
}
}
Python:
import hmac, hashlib
def verify_jira_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
method, _, sig = (signature_header or "").partition("=")
if method != "sha256" or not sig:
return False
expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(sig, expected)

- examples/nextjs/

Common Event Types
Jira does not send an event-type header. The event name is in the JSON body
under the webhookEvent field.
Event (webhookEvent) | Triggered When |
|---|---|
jira:issue_created | An issue is created |
jira:issue_updated | An issue is edited or transitioned |
jira:issue_deleted | An issue is deleted |
comment_created | A comment is added to an issue |
comment_updated | A comment is edited |
comment_deleted | A comment is deleted |
worklog_created | A worklog is logged on an issue |
For the full event reference, see Jira webhook events.
Important Headers
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-Hub-Signature | HMAC SHA-256 signature, formatted sha256=<hex> (admin webhooks with a secret) |
Authorization | JWT on Connect descriptor and OAuth 2.0 app webhooks (the docs describe it only for app webhooks) |
X-Atlassian-Webhook-Identifier | Unique delivery identifier |
Environment Variables
JIRA_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret # The `secret` set on the admin webhook

# Start tunnel (no account needed)

We recommend installing the webhook-handler-patterns skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):
- Handler sequence — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- Idempotency — Prevent duplicate processing
- Error handling — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- Retry logic — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
