1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Turn new Jira tickets into CloudCLI AI coding sessions with Claude Code

Turn new Jira tickets into automated AI coding sessions. When a ticket is created, this workflow runs an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor CLI, or Codex) on the task inside a CloudCLI cloud dev environment and posts the results and the links to continue the AI coding session from mobile or an IDE, back to Jira.

How it works

  1. A Jira trigger fires when a new issue is created.
  2. The ticket summary and description are composed into a prompt for the AI coding agent.
  3. CloudCLI runs the agent inside an isolated cloud container.
  4. The agent's output, VS Code and Cursor deep links, and an SSH resume command are posted back to Jira as a comment.

Reviewers can open the environment in their preferred IDE or SSH in and run claude -r to resume the session from terminal.

Set up steps

  1. Install the CloudCLI verified community node from the n8n nodes panel.
  2. Connect your Jira Cloud and CloudCLI API credentials.
  3. Select your target environment in the "Get Environment Details" node.
  4. Customize the prompt template in "Compose Agent Prompt" to match your codebase.

Requirements

Jira Cloud account CloudCLI account with API key (cloudcli.ai) A running CloudCLI environment with your repo cloned AI provider API key configured in your CloudCLI dashboard (e.g. Anthropic for Claude Code)

How to customize

  • Add an IF node to filter by label (e.g. auto-code) or issue type.
  • Enable "Create Pull Request" in the agent's options to auto-open a PR.
  • Add a Slack node to notify your team when the agent completes.
  • Replace the Jira trigger with Linear, GitHub Issues, or Asana.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/14070/14070.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
