How can I fix the Jira 10+ webhook URL error in n8n?

I'm encountering an issue with the Jira webhook integration in n8n after upgrading to Jira 10+.
When trying to trigger a workflow via the Jira webhook, I get the following error:
The resource you are requesting could not be found
Additional details in the error mention an empty JIRAcontextPath, for example:
Support-Issue-Created: Oops, you’ve found a dead link. - JIRAcontextPath = ""
This issue appears to be related to the updated URL for webhook resources in Jira 10+:
<JIRA_URL>/rest/jira-webhook/1.0/webhook
I've been reviewing our configuration and the implementation in the JiraTrigger node in n8n.
The following code snippet from our setup might be helpful for context:
TYPESCRIPTimport type { ICredentialDataDecryptedObject, IDataObject, IHookFunctions, IWebhookFunctions, INodeType, INodeTypeDescription, IWebhookResponseData, } from 'n8n-workflow'; import { NodeConnectionType, NodeOperationError } from 'n8n-workflow'; import { allEvents, eventExists, getId, jiraSoftwareCloudApiRequest } from './GenericFunctions'; export class JiraTrigger implements INodeType { description: INodeTypeDescription = { displayName: 'Jira Trigger', name: 'jiraTrigger', icon: 'file:jira.svg', group: ['trigger'], version: [1, 1.1], ... }; ... }
Our setup details include:
- n8n version: 1.79.2
- Database: Postgress
- Running via Docker on Linux
Has anyone encountered this issue or have guidance on how to update the webhook URL configuration to match the new Jira 10+ format? Any help to resolve this error and reestablish the integration would be greatly appreciated.

Below is an analysis of the issue and some troubleshooting steps specific to the JiraTrigger integration in n8n.
Analysis
-
Error Message:
The error “The resource you are requesting could not be found” (with additional details including “JIRAcontextPath = “””) indicates that Jira is returning a 404-style error when n8n attempts to register or access the webhook. -
Possible Cause:
The message mentioning an empty JIRAcontextPath suggests that Jira expects a base or context path (for example, “/jira”) to be set when receiving webhook-related requests. This can occur when:- The webhook URL constructed by n8n (using getNodeWebhookUrl) does not match what the Jira instance expects.
- A Jira Server (self-hosted) installation might have a non-root context path that is not reflected in the webhook configuration.
- Credentials or configuration details in the node may be misconfigured (especially if you use both cloud and server options).
-
n8n Implementation Details:
In the JiraTrigger node (see the provided code snippet), the webhook URL is generated dynamically and then used to register the webhook through the Jira API. Any misconfiguration either on the n8n side (incorrect credentials or missing context) or on the Jira side (expecting a specific URL structure) could lead to the reported error.
Troubleshooting Steps
-
Verify Jira Base URL and Context Path:
- Check your Jira instance settings.
- If you’re using Jira Server, confirm whether your Jira installation is hosted at a non-root path (for example, http://your-jira-domain/jira). Update your credentials or API base URL accordingly.
-
Review Node Credentials:
- Ensure you’re using the correct credentials for your Jira version (cloud vs server).
- Verify that the correct node parameters are set (especially the “jiraVersion” parameter) so that n8n builds and calls the correct endpoints.
-
Check Webhook URL Configuration:
- In n8n, the webhook URL is generated through a function like getNodeWebhookUrl and then appended to the registration payload.
- Make sure this URL is accessible from your Jira instance and does not require additional context parameters.
-
Consult Documentation:
- Review the Atlassian documentation on registering webhooks to verify that your webhook registration payload complies with what your Jira instance expects.
- Also, verify the n8n Jira Trigger documentation for any additional configuration steps.
-
Test With a Minimal Setup:
- Temporarily simplify your workflow and webhook parameters to the minimal required configuration.
- Once the basic webhook registration succeeds, incrementally add additional fields (like filtering options) to isolate the issue.
Conclusion
The error appears to be caused by a mismatch between the webhook URL that n8n is generating (with an empty context path) and what your Jira instance expects. Double-check your Jira instance’s base URL and any required context paths, adjust your credentials and configuration accordingly, and test again following the troubleshooting steps.
If the issue persists after verifying these settings, reviewing Jira logs for incoming webhook registration requests might provide further insight into what part of the URL or payload is being rejected.
