# Sync Jira status with Hunters

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

**To sync Jira status with Hunters:**

****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)
