  • Team collaboration flows

Characteristics

  • Permission Type: User-level API token

  • Revoke unused tokens
  • Monitor token usage

Access Control

  • Don’t use admin accounts unless necessary
  • Review Jira/Confluence permissions
  • Audit automation activities

Troubleshooting

Possible Causes:
  • Invalid API token
  • Token expired or revoked
  • Incorrect email address
  • Wrong site URL
Solutions:
  • Generate a new API token
  • Verify email matches token owner
  • Check site URL format (e.g., company.atlassian.net)
  • Test connection with Atlassian API directly
Possible Causes:
  • Insufficient Jira/Confluence permissions
  • Project/space access restrictions
  • Issue type not allowed
  • Field restrictions
Solutions:
  • Verify user has required permissions
  • Check project/space access settings
  • Review issue type scheme
  • Confirm field permissions
Possible Causes:
  • Too many API requests
  • Concurrent flow executions
  • Bulk operations
Solutions:
  • Implement delays between requests
  • Use batch operations where available
  • Reduce flow execution frequency
  • Contact Atlassian about rate limits
