5DAYS x Jira: a sync that finally goes both ways

September 1, 2026 · 2 min read

The same task shown in 5DAYS and in Jira, connected by a two-way sync.

In many teams, knowledge and technical tracking live in two separate worlds. Decisions are made in meetings, written up in notes and turned into tasks — but as soon as development starts, all the tracking moves to Jira. The result: two sources of truth, two places to keep up to date, and a constant risk of drift between what was decided and what is actually being tracked.

Starting today, that problem goes away: 5DAYS syncs with Jira, in both directions.

What the integration does

  • A task created in 5DAYS — manually, or automatically from a meeting thanks to automatic task detection — shows up in the matching Jira project.
  • A task updated in Jira (status, assignee, comment) is reflected in 5DAYS, with no manual step.
  • Every task keeps its link to where it came from: the meeting, decision or document it originated in, visible from 5DAYS and from Jira alike.

You no longer have to choose between “where we decide” and “where we track development”: the two stay aligned at all times.

Why two-way sync, and not just an export

Many integrations only push tasks one way, from the project-management tool to the development tool. That’s useful, but incomplete: as soon as a developer changes a status or adds a comment in Jira, that information stays invisible to the product team or the client, who keep looking at 5DAYS.

With a sync that runs both ways, the technical team keeps its usual tool — Jira — without changing a thing, while the product team, project managers and clients without Jira access follow real progress directly in 5DAYS, with the full context: the meeting that started the task, the related documents, the linked decisions.

Who it’s for

This integration is aimed in particular at organizations where a technical team works in Jira while the rest of the company — product, ops, leadership, clients — needs a unified view without learning a new tool or juggling more logins. It’s also a direct win for governance: no more ghost tasks created in one tool and forgotten in the other.

The integration follows the same logic as our existing syncs with Salesforce, Teamwork and HubSpot: connecting 5DAYS to the tools your teams already use, rather than asking them to switch.
