IE integrations upgrade guide

When upgrading from Invicti Enterprise to Invicti Platform, Invicti Platform automatically carries over your configured integrations. This document explains what transfers for each supported integration, what doesn't, and what to verify after the upgrade.

For a high-level overview of all upgrade topics, refer to the Moving from Invicti Enterprise to Invicti Platform document.

Why this matters

Two integrations - GitHub and Webhook - have cases where the upgrade silently drops part or all of the configuration without an error message. If you use GitHub with a self-hosted server, or a Webhook integration with the XML parameter type, your integration won't work as expected after the upgrade and you need to take action.

Supported integrations

Invicti Platform automatically carries over the following seven integrations when upgrading from Invicti Enterprise:

IntegrationUpgrade statusKey notes
JiraCarried overCustom issue title format is replaced by a standardized format
Azure BoardsCarried overStatus mappings aren't carried. The upgrade transfers only the first tag
GitHubCarried overGitHub Enterprise server URLs are silently replaced with api.github.com
GitLabCarried overStatus mappings aren't carried
SlackCarried overOnly the incoming webhook URL is carried
Microsoft TeamsCarried overWebhook URL and color are carried
WebhookPartially carried overIntegrations using the XML parameter type are silently skipped
General rules for all integrations
  • Invicti Platform decrypts passwords and tokens from Invicti Enterprise's encrypted storage and re-encrypts them.
  • Integration names must be unique in Invicti Platform. If an integration with the same name already exists, the upgrade skips that integration.
  • Issue tracker integrations (Jira, Azure Boards, GitHub, GitLab) use a standardized issue title and body format in Invicti Platform. Custom issue title templates from Invicti Enterprise aren't preserved.

Jira

This section covers what carries over from your Jira configuration during the upgrade and what to verify afterward.

What's carried over

SettingNotes
Integration nameCarried over as the display name
Server URLJira instance URL
Username and passwordAuthentication credentials
Project key and project IDTarget Jira project
Issue typeTarget issue type
Webhook URLFor status sync callbacks
Status mappingsOpen and rediscovered statuses map to reopen. Fixed maps to resolved
False positive behaviorMaps to a separate Jira status if "Do not reopen when marked" is enabled
Custom fieldsAll custom field name-value pairs, including versions, fix versions, labels, components, security level, epic, due date, assignee, and reporter
Priority mappingsSeverity-to-Jira-priority mappings for Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational
User mappingsInvicti Enterprise user-to-Jira-user mappings (V1 integrations only)

Issue title format: Invicti Platform standardizes the issue title to Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability} - {Asset Name} and doesn't preserve any custom title format from Invicti Enterprise.

Issue body: always includes Summary, Vulnerability Description, Attack Details, Classification, Impact, How to Fix, and Web References.

What isn't carried over

SettingReason
Custom title formatReplaced by the standardized Invicti Platform title format
Is Cloud flagNot applicable in Invicti Platform
Auto-assign to personNot supported in Invicti Platform
Remove request/response optionNot supported in Invicti Platform

What to verify

After the upgrade, open your Jira integration settings in Invicti Platform and confirm that all custom fields still exist in your Jira instance. Fields that no longer exist in Jira are excluded automatically during the upgrade. For setup details, refer to the Jira document.

Azure Boards

This section covers what carries over from your Azure Boards configuration and what to verify after the upgrade.

What's carried over

SettingNotes
Integration nameCarried over as the display name
Organization URLExtracted from the Project URI
ProjectExtracted from the Project URI
Username and passwordAuthentication credentials
Work item typeTarget work item type name
Custom fieldsAll custom field name-value pairs
TagsFirst tag from the Invicti Enterprise tag list only
Assigned toWork item assignee

Issue title format: Standardized to Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability}.

Project URI required

If Invicti Platform can't parse the Project URI to extract an organization and project name, the upgrade skips the integration and logs a warning. After the upgrade, confirm that your Azure Boards integration is present in Invicti Platform.

What isn't carried over

SettingReason
Status mappingsNot supported in Invicti Platform for Azure Boards
Webhook URLNot supported
Custom title formatReplaced by the standardized Invicti Platform title format
Domain fieldNot applicable in Invicti Platform

What to verify

After the upgrade, open your Azure Boards integration settings and confirm that custom fields match your work item schema. For setup details, refer to the Azure Boards document.

GitHub

This section covers what carries over from your GitHub configuration. If you use GitHub Enterprise, pay attention to the server URL warning below.

What's carried over

SettingNotes
Integration nameCarried over as the display name
Access tokenUsed for authentication
RepositoryTarget repository name
OrganizationFalls back to the Invicti Enterprise username if not set
AssigneeIssue assignee username
LabelsAll labels from the Invicti Enterprise configuration

Authentication username: Invicti Platform uses the primary account user's email address as the authentication username, not the GitHub username stored in Invicti Enterprise.

Issue title format: Standardized to Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability}.

GitHub Enterprise server URL not supported

If your integration used a custom GitHub Enterprise server URL (a self-hosted GitHub instance), the upgrade silently replaces that URL with https://api.github.com. Your integration won't connect to your GitHub Enterprise server after the upgrade.

To fix this, reconfigure the GitHub integration in Invicti Platform after the upgrade to point to your GitHub Enterprise instance.

What to verify

After the upgrade, confirm your access token is still valid and that the organization and repository selections are correct. If you used GitHub Enterprise, reconfigure the server URL after the upgrade. For setup details, refer to the GitHub issues document.

GitLab

This section covers what carries over from your GitLab configuration and what to verify after the upgrade.

What's carried over

SettingNotes
Integration nameCarried over as the display name
On-premises base URLCarried over if set. Defaults to https://gitlab.com/ if not configured
Access tokenUsed for authentication
Project IDTarget GitLab project
Assignee IDCarried over only if the value is greater than 0
WeightCarried over only if the value is greater than 0
Due date (days)Carried over only if the value is greater than 0
Milestone IDCarried over only if the value is greater than 0
LabelsAll labels from the Invicti Enterprise configuration

Authentication username: Invicti Platform uses the primary account user's email address as the authentication username.

Issue title format: Standardized to Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability}.

Zero-value fields

The upgrade treats numeric fields (assignee ID, weight, due date, milestone ID) set to 0 as "not configured" and doesn't transfer them. Only non-zero values carry over.

What isn't carried over

Invicti Platform doesn't support status mappings for GitLab and doesn't transfer them.

What to verify

After the upgrade, confirm your access token is valid and that the project ID is correct. For setup details, refer to the GitLab issues document.

Slack

This section covers what carries over from your Slack configuration and how to verify the webhook URL is still active after the upgrade.

What's carried over

Only the integration name and the incoming webhook URL are carried over. The message format in Invicti Platform uses a standardized template.

What to verify

After the upgrade, send a test notification to confirm the webhook URL is still active. Slack webhooks can expire if the associated Slack app is reconfigured. For setup details, refer to the Slack integration document.

Microsoft Teams

This section covers what carries over from your Microsoft Teams configuration and how to confirm the webhook is still active after the upgrade.

What's carried over

The integration name, webhook URL, and color (the card accent color for Teams adaptive cards) are carried over. The message format uses a standardized adaptive card template.

What to verify

After the upgrade, confirm the webhook URL is still active in your Teams channel. For setup details, refer to the Microsoft Teams integration document.

Webhook

This section covers what carries over from webhook configurations. If you used the XML parameter type in Invicti Enterprise, see the warning below.

What's carried over

SettingNotes
Integration nameCarried over as the display name
Webhook URLTarget endpoint URL
HTTP methodGET, POST, or PUT
Parameter typeForm, JSON, or Query String
Username and passwordCarried over only if both are set
Custom fieldsAll name-value pairs
Title fieldMapped to the {Vulnerability} template variable
Body fieldMapped to the {Issue detail template} template variable
Custom HTTP headersAll header name-value pairs
XML integrations are silently skipped

Invicti Platform doesn't transfer webhook integrations configured with the XML parameter type in Invicti Enterprise. The upgrade silently skips them - they don't appear in Invicti Platform and Invicti Platform shows no error.

If you had Webhook integrations using XML, recreate them manually in Invicti Platform using JSON, Form, or Query String as the parameter type instead.

What to verify

After the upgrade, confirm all webhook integrations are present in Invicti Platform. If any are missing, they were likely using the XML parameter type and need to be recreated. For setup details, refer to the Webhook document.

Integrations not supported from Invicti Enterprise

Only the seven integrations listed in this document are carried over. Invicti Platform doesn't carry over any other integration type configured in Invicti Enterprise. Set these up from scratch in Invicti Platform.

To set up a new integration, select Settings > Integrations from the left-side menu in Invicti Platform. For a full list of available integrations, refer to the Integrations documentation.

Troubleshooting

An integration is missing from Invicti Platform after the upgrade

Three things can cause an integration to be absent after the upgrade:

  • Duplicate name - If an integration with the same name already existed in Invicti Platform, the upgrade skipped it. Rename the existing one and recreate the integration manually.
  • Webhook XML type - The upgrade silently skips webhook integrations using the XML parameter type. Recreate them in Invicti Platform using JSON, Form, or Query String instead.
  • Azure Boards Project URI - If Invicti Platform couldn't parse the Project URI, the upgrade skipped it. Recreate it manually in Invicti Platform.
GitHub issues aren't being created after the upgrade

If you use a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise instance, the upgrade replaced the server URL with https://api.github.com. Reconfigure the GitHub integration in Invicti Platform with your GitHub Enterprise server URL.

If you use GitHub.com and issues still aren't being created, verify that your Personal Access Token is still valid and has the required repository permissions.

GitLab issues are created but the assignee or milestone isn't set

If the assignee ID, milestone ID, weight, or due date had a value of 0 in Invicti Enterprise, the upgrade treats these as unset and doesn't transfer them. To restore them, edit your GitLab integration in Invicti Platform and enter the values directly.

The issue title format changed after the upgrade

Invicti Platform uses a standardized issue title format: Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability} - {Asset Name} for Jira, and Invicti - {Severity}: {Vulnerability} for Azure Boards, GitHub, and GitLab. Custom title formats from Invicti Enterprise aren't preserved.

Custom fields are missing from the Jira integration

The upgrade excludes custom fields that no longer exist in your Jira instance, such as fields that Jira deleted, renamed, or that aren't available for the configured project or issue type. To restore them, confirm the fields exist in Jira and then edit your Jira integration in Invicti Platform to refresh the field list.
