### Follow the steps to set up your integration in Salesforce 

1. [Add a remote site](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/1873412619) to provide a safe connection from Salesforce to your Jira.
2. [Set up a connection to Jira](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/1873346949).
3. Add the Jira Issues component** **to view Jira details directly in Salesforce:
  - [For NextGen](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/1873543771)
  - [For classic view](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSFJIRA/pages/1873445794)
