Jira's Issue Collector Is Free.
But It's Costing You Time.
No screenshots. No context. No triage. Every ticket arrives as a wall of text you have to decode. You're spending more time asking "what did you mean?" than actually fixing problems.
Sound Familiar?
The Jira Issue Collector works... technically. But here's what you're dealing with.
"Can You Show Me What You're Seeing?"
User reports: "The button doesn't work." Which button? What screen? What happens when they click it? You email them back. They respond 2 days later. Still no screenshot.
"What Browser? What Page? What Error?"
The ticket says "it's broken." No URL. No browser info. No error message. You spend 20 minutes trying to reproduce something you can't find because you don't know where to look.
"I Have to Triage All of This Myself"
Every ticket arrives with the same priority: none. You read each one, guess urgency, assign a category, set priority. That's 5 minutes per ticket before you even start working.
Same Jira. Better Issue Collection.
IssueCapture sends tickets directly to your existing Jira—with context attached
Everything the Issue Collector Should Have Been
All the features Atlassian never added—in one lightweight widget
Screenshot Capture
One-click screenshot with annotation tools. Users circle the problem instead of describing it.
Console Error Capture
JavaScript errors captured automatically. Debug issues without asking "can you open DevTools?"
Network Request Logs
Failed API calls and slow requests logged. See exactly what went wrong.
AI Categorization
Tickets arrive pre-categorized. Bug vs feature request vs question—sorted automatically.
AI Priority
Urgency detected from content. "Site is down" gets flagged Critical automatically.
Duplicate Detection
10 users report the same bug? AI links them together. Fix once, close all.
Domain Allowlist
Only your approved domains can submit. No spam, no abuse.
User Pre-fill
Pass logged-in user info to the widget. No "who are you?" in every ticket.
Lightweight
31KB initial load. Screenshot adds 10KB. Won't slow down your site.
Same Bug Report. Different Experience.
What lands in your Jira depends on how it was captured

Jira Issue Collector: Common Questions
Straight answers about where the Issue Collector stands today.
Did Jira replace the Issue Collector?
No — Atlassian renamed it. What used to be called the Issue Collector is now the “work item collector” in Jira Cloud, part of Atlassian's rename of “issues” to “work items.” It is still available and supported, but it was never upgraded: no built-in screenshots, no console or network logs, and it only works in company-managed projects. If you came looking for those capabilities, that gap is exactly what IssueCapture fills.
Is the Jira Issue Collector being deprecated?
Not as of 2026. Atlassian still documents and supports the work item collector (formerly the Issue Collector), with no end-of-life notice. The catch is not that it is going away — it is that it stays basic: text-first submissions, company-managed projects only, and no screenshots, logs, or AI triage.
Does the Jira Issue Collector work with team-managed projects?
No. Atlassian’s documentation states the work item collector is only available in company-managed spaces and is not available in team-managed spaces. IssueCapture works with any Jira project — company-managed, team-managed, and Jira Service Management.
What is the best alternative to the Jira Issue Collector?
IssueCapture is a drop-in upgrade with the same one-script-tag embed, but every report arrives with an annotated screenshot, console errors, network logs, and browser and URL context — then AI triages priority, category, and duplicates. Issues flow straight into your existing Jira, including team-managed projects and JSM, so you keep your workflow and just get better tickets.
The Issue Collector Is Fine. Your Time Isn't Free.
Every 'can you send a screenshot?' email costs 10 minutes. Every 'which page was this on?' costs another 10. Upgrade to issues that arrive ready to fix.
- Works with Jira Software + JSM
