📘 What you will learn here
On this page you will learn how to start a sync from outside the Sync Bridge UI, for example from a Jira automation rule, a CI pipeline or another service, using the Sync Trigger API and API tokens.
Sync Bridge offers one HTTP endpoint, the Sync Trigger API. A call to it starts a push or a pull of one work item through one sync rule, the same as a manual push or pull. Each call is authenticated with an API token that belongs to that sync rule and direction, and is sent in the X-Sync-Secret header. A Jira admin turns on the API trigger for push, pull or both in the sync rule, finds the endpoint URL there, and creates the tokens.
The Sync Trigger API is included in the Advanced and Evaluation (trial) editions, not in Standard. See License Editions.
