On July 28, 2026, we shipped Jira Context, available on the Pro plan. Revix AI finds the Jira ticket behind every pull request and reviews the code against what the ticket asked for. When the PR merges, Revix updates the ticket.

A review that only sees the diff knows what changed. It should also know why.

## Finds and reads the ticket

Revix scans the branch name, PR title, and PR body for issue keys, the `ABC-123` shape every Jira project uses. Once a key resolves against your connected site, Revix pulls the ticket's details:

- summary and description
- issue type, status, and epic
- assignee
- the discussion on the ticket

That context goes into the review, alongside your repo's conventions and the rules Revix has learned from your codebase. So the reviewer can catch what static analysis never will. Picture code that compiles, follows every convention, and implements four of the five things the ticket asked for. The fifth was in a ticket comment three weeks ago, from someone on holiday this week.

Every PR summary now opens with the linked ticket and one sentence on what it asks for.

*The ticket behind the PR, resolved from the branch name and linked at the top of every summary.*

## Moves the ticket on your board

Revix moves the ticket when it links one to a PR, and again when that PR merges. In the integration's settings, you map each event to one of your own status names. It fits the board your team already runs.

*PR opens, ticket moves to Code Review. PR merges, ticket moves on. Nobody has to remember.*

## Comments on merge

On merge, Revix also comments on the ticket with what shipped and a link to the PR. People who work in Jira see the outcome where they already look.

None of this blocks the review. If Jira is slow or a transition isn't allowed from the current status, the review still runs and still posts.

## Why ticket context matters

Repo context tells the reviewer whether the code belongs here. Ticket context tells it whether the code is what you asked for. Both live outside the diff, and the best reviewers on your team have always read both.

We've written before about [what a reviewer sees when it reads the whole repo instead of just the diff](https://www.revix.ai/blog/repo-aware-vs-diff-based-ai-code-review). Jira Context applies the same idea to a different gap.

Reading the ticket has been part of the plan since [we launched Revix AI](https://www.revix.ai/blog/introducing-revix). This version moves the board too.

Jira Context is part of the Pro plan; see the [pricing page](https://www.revix.ai/pricing). Connect it from a Pro workspace and see it on your next PR: [revix.ai](https://www.revix.ai). Every team starts with a 14 day free trial, no card required.
