Automate Google Sheets + Jira
The database every team already has open. The ticket system of record for engineering work. Put an agent between them and the hand-off stops being manual: it reads, decides, acts, and shows its work.
Report Assembler is a ready-made agent built around Google Sheets; point its last step at Jira to finish this hand-off.
Automations teams run
Unlike field-mapping automation, the step in the middle is an agent: it can summarise, classify, judge and draft, not merely copy values from Google Sheets into Jira.
When a row is added or edited in Google Sheets…
…an agent can create and update issues in Jira — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a sheet crosses a threshold in Google Sheets…
…an agent can transition tickets with comments in Jira — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a schedule fires in Google Sheets…
…an agent can summarise sprint state in Jira — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When an issue is created or transitions in Jira…
…an agent can append and update rows in Google Sheets — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a sprint starts in Jira…
…an agent can read ranges for reporting in Google Sheets — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a priority changes in Jira…
…an agent can maintain a rolling dashboard tab in Google Sheets — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
The Google Sheets and Jira hand-off, setup template
Start with the google-sheets-api node and a custom-api call to {yoursite}.atlassian.net. Configure the Google Sheets source payload, the agent input, and the Jira operation. The sequential template does not implement conditional writes or approval by itself.
This is a schema-checked starting point, not an end-to-end tested automation. Replace every CONFIGURE_ value, choose the operations you intend, connect credentials and map source outputs into later inputs. An edge orders steps; it does not supply a condition, an approval gate or a field mapping. Add and test those controls explicitly before any write. Cloud APIs and model providers may receive data. Keep the workflow inactive until tested with fixtures.

}Configure Google Sheets New Row
Listen for new rows added to a specified Google Sheet and trigger the workflow when a new row is detected.
- spreadsheetId — The ID of the Google Spreadsheet to monitor Current example:
CONFIGURE_SPREADSHEETID. - sheetName — The name of the sheet within the spreadsheet to monitor Current example:
CONFIGURE_SHEETNAME.
Configure Custom API Request
This action node makes a custom API request to any endpoint with configurable method, headers, and authentication.
- url — The URL of the API endpoint Current example:
https://{yoursite}.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue. - method — The HTTP method for the request Current example:
GET. - authType — The type of authentication Current example:
None. - query — Query parameters for the request (e.g., 'key1=value1&key2=value2') Current example:
. - headers — Optional headers for the request. e.g., {"Content-Type": "application/json"} Current example:
{}.
Install Report Assembler
Report Assembler is a working agent built around Google Sheets. Install it, point its last step at Jira, and you have this hand-off without building it from an empty canvas.
Runs on your own machine · See what it does
Build it in AGNT
- Download AGNT Community Core — free and local-first.
- Connect Google Sheets with one OAuth sign-in and Jira with one OAuth sign-in; both land in the local vault.
- Start from a marketplace workflow, or drop google-sheets-api and a custom-api node onto the canvas with an agent between them.
- Put an approval gate on anything consequential, then run it — the receipt shows what was read in Google Sheets and what was written to Jira.
Google Sheets and Jira — common questions
Can I connect Google Sheets to Jira without writing code?
You can build it entirely from the canvas. Authorise Google Sheets with one OAuth sign-in, Jira with one OAuth sign-in, then tell the agent what land extracted data as clean rows should look like once Jira is involved. Code is an option for the unusual cases, never a requirement for the common ones.
How is this different from a field-mapping Google Sheets to Jira automation?
The difference shows up on the messy inputs. A rule chain needs every case enumerated in advance; an agent handles land extracted data as clean rows the way a colleague would — reading the Google Sheets context, judging it, then writing to Jira with the reasoning recorded.
Does my Google Sheets and Jira data leave my machine?
AGNT Community Core is local-first, so there is no vendor middleman holding your Google Sheets or Jira tokens. The runtime talks directly to both services. Choose a local model and the content of what it reads never leaves the machine at all.
What does a Google Sheets and Jira run leave behind?
You get an auditable trail rather than a success flag. It shows the Google Sheets context the agent worked from, the judgment it made about meeting actions become tickets automatically, and the exact change applied in Jira, with approvals attached where you required them.
