Reference of integration between xMatters and BMC Helix ITSM incidents by using BMC Helix iPaaS
You can integrate BMC Helix ITSM with Microsoft Azure DevOps to synchronize BMC Helix ITSM incidents with Azure DevOps work items. When a work item is created in Azure DevOps, a corresponding BMC Helix ITSM is created, and the converse is true. This integration enables your service desk agents to collaborate with developers who use Azure DevOps.
BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker, along with BMC Helix iPaaS, powered by Jitterbit provides the Sync_BMC_Helix_ITSM_incident_and_Microsoft_Azure_DevOps_work_item.json integration template that you can use to integrate BMC Helix ITSM with Azure DevOps. You configure the integration in BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker and deploy the integration template to your BMC Helix iPaaS environment.
