When saving field mappings to enable the field syncing, the Zendesk Support for Jira add-on registers a Jira webhook. The webhook is designed to be triggered whenever a linked issue is updated, moved, or deleted by a user to inform the integration that data has changed and syncing could be required. This webhook is registered automatically in Jira Server. However, if it is deleted, you must recreate it manually.
Unfortunately, Jira Cloud does not automatically create webhooks by third party add-ons like Zendesk Support for Jira. Jira administrators must manually create a webhook for field syncing to work properly.
