Modules
The Approval for Jira app comprises five modules: Project Setting, Issue Panel, Approvals Tab, Issue Activity, and Migration Approval.
To begin, users must access the Project Setting module to set up an API token required for processes within the app.
How to get Jira API token: https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/
Note:
You must use the email which has permission to access Jira Cloud Instance.
Only Jira admin of this instance is available.
Why we need Jira API token:
Approval for Jira support sends email notifications to users when they are assigned as the approver for a newly created issue.
