Alteryx Jira connector

Hello,

I have used Alteryx for about a year now but i just encountered a new issue which had to do with creating a JIRA connector for my workflow. I found some instructions online the said i needed to download a JIRA connector, that i did download and import the workflow package, relaunched my Alteryx designer but I still cant find the JIRA connector in my connectors. Has anyone done something similar to this before? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks

The JIRA connector is an Alteryx macro (*.yxmc file). When you import the package you downloaded from Alteryx Gallery, this will create a directory on your computer with two files

In order to use the connector in your workflow, right-click anywhere on the canvas and choose to insert a macro from the directory that contains the JIRA macro.

An alternative would be to add all the additionally downloaded macros into a directory and map this via User settings as described here. This way the macros appear within the tool palette just like any other Alteryx tools.

Thanks for your response MichalM. So when i follow the steps in your response i get a JIRA interactive Mocaro connector ( as per the attachment) instead of an actual JIRA connector. Could i have missed a step in the initial process?
