No, you don't need to write scripts manually. Aida, the AI assistant built into Exalate, generates sync scripts based on plain language descriptions of your requirements. This makes integration accessible without coding experience for most scenarios.
How Aida Generates Scripts for You
Describe what you want to synchronize in natural language, such as "sync high-priority bugs with their comments and attachments" and Aida builds the appropriate Groovy code for both outgoing and incoming sync rules. This AI-assisted configuration eliminates the need for manual scripting in straightforward integration scenarios.For basic synchronizations involving standard fields like summary, description, priority, status, assignee, and comments, Aida handles the entire script generation process.
Validate Configurations Before Deployment
TestRun lets you validate AI-generated scripts on sample work items to ensure they behave as expected before going live. This safety feature confirms your sync logic works correctly across different scenarios without risking live data.
Advanced Customization When You Need It
Direct script access remains available for teams needing advanced customization. If you want to implement conditional logic, complex data transformations, calculated fields, or specialized workflow handling beyond what Aida generates, you can modify the Groovy scripts directly. Full script and operational control over your sync means technical users have complete flexibility when requirements exceed standard patterns, but it's not mandatory for basic integrations.
Start Simple, Scale as Needed
Many organizations start with Aida-generated configurations and only involve technical resources when specific business requirements demand custom scripting. As you become familiar with the platform, you may choose to learn Groovy scripting for greater control, but it's not a prerequisite for getting value from Exalate.
