Onboarding¶
Autonomous Coding Agent is enabled per team. A team must be onboarded before its members can start agents from the chat client or trigger agents from Jira.
Request Access¶
Create a Service Desk ticket to request onboarding.
Placeholder links:
Include the following information in the ticket:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Team name | The name of the team that will use Autonomous Coding Agent. |
| Department | The department or organizational unit responsible for the team. |
| Jira projects | The Jira project keys where the team wants to trigger agents. |
| Team members | Users who should receive access to the chat client. |
The request is reviewed by support. If approved, support will contact the team with the next onboarding steps.
Install The GitHub App¶
After approval, support will provide a link to the Autonomous Coding Agent GitHub App.
A GitHub organization owner must install the app in the team's GitHub organization and choose which repositories the app may access. Grant access only to repositories where the team wants the agent to work.
The selected repositories define where the agent can inspect code, create branches, commit changes, and prepare pull request handover.
Link The Installation¶
After the GitHub App is installed, support links the GitHub App installation to the onboarded team.
This links the team's approved Jira projects, GitHub repositories, and available agents so that requests are routed to the correct team context.
Receive Jira Webhook Details¶
Support will provide:
- The Jira webhook URL
- The Jira webhook key
Teams need these values to create their own Jira automation rules. The webhook URL tells Jira where to send the trigger request. The webhook key authorizes the request for the team's Jira project.
See Jira Automation for setup and testing steps.
Register For The Chat Client¶
Team members will receive an invitation to register for the chat client. After registration, they can start agents directly from the chat experience.
This registration flow will later be replaced by SSO.
After Onboarding¶
After onboarding is complete, the team can:
- Start an agent from the chat client.
- Trigger an agent from Jira automation.
- Configure Jira rules that start the agent from issue events or comments.
- Use the agent for software engineering tasks in the approved repositories.
For best results, teams should start with small, well-defined Jira tickets and review the agent's output before merging any code changes.
