The part of your Jira web address before .atlassian.net — e.g. 'acme' for acme.atlassian.net. Open Jira and copy it from your browser's address bar.
Deprecated — leave this blank. Composio builds it automatically from your email and API token above. Only fill if instructed, using the Base64 of 'email:api-token'.
An Atlassian API token — it acts as your password. Create one at id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and copy it right away; it's shown only once.
The email you sign in to Jira/Atlassian with (e.g. jane@acme.com). It must match the account that created the API token below.
