Add Vera to Jira projects after initial integration

After the initial integration of Vera to Jira, Jira administrators can continue to enable the Vera Approval Route on any new or existing Jira projects.

There are two main components that enable Vera to work seamlessly in Jira:

Integrate Vera into Jira workflow

Multiple Vera compatible workflows can be created to support the various projects and issue types that your company utilizes. Jira administrators can choose to integrate Vera into an existing workflow or to create a new Vera enabled workflow altogether. To do this, add the required Vera statuses and transitions into the Jira workflow. For more information, check out Integrate Vera workflow states into Jira workflows.

The Vera Approval Route is triggered by the presence of Vera custom fields in the project. The Vera custom fields, a Vera integrated workflow, and the Vera service account all work together to route records for approval.
