# Sync Hunters status with Jira

This recipe will trigger whenever a lead’s status changes on Hunters and will update the status of the corresponding issue on Jira to match. This will help you keep your Jira service desk project updated and synced with the Hunters SOC platform.

**To sync Hunters status with Jira:**

****Step 1: Open the required template****

1. From the Hunters menu, navigate to **Workflows > Workflow Manager**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/image%28237%29.png)
