FAQ
What credentials does Hermes need for Jira?
Hermes typically needs your Jira site URL, account email, an Atlassian API token, and default project or board settings so created tickets land correctly.
Can Hermes run JQL queries?
Yes. JQL queries are useful for sprint summaries, blocked-ticket checks, project reports, and finding issues that need follow-up.
Should Jira users also connect GitHub?
Usually yes for engineering teams. Jira tracks work, while GitHub gives Hermes access to pull requests, CI status, repository context, and code-review follow-ups.
