# Jenkins Changes Integration Guide | PagerDuty

Configure the Jenkins Changes | PagerDuty integration

## Jenkins Changes + PagerDuty Benefits

- Create PagerDuty [change events](/ai-automation/aiops/recent-changes) from Jenkins post-build events.

## Requirements

> **AIOps / Signal Intelligence Feature:** This feature is included with the [PagerDuty AIOps](/ai-automation/aiops/overview) add-on, or included as Signal Intelligence in PD Reliability Platform plans. To sign up for a trial of PagerDuty AIOps features, read [PagerDuty AIOps Trials](/ai-automation/aiops/overview#pagerduty-aiops-trials).

- **In PagerDuty**: This integration requires a Manager base role or higher to configure.
- **In Jenkins**: This integration requires administrator permissions to [install the Jenkins PagerDuty plugin](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/plugins/). 

## How it Works

- Jenkins build events will be sent to PagerDuty, creating change events on integrated services.

## Integration Walkthrough

10. Click **Save**.

## Using the Integration

Once configured, build events specified in step 9 ([above](#in-your-jenkins-plugin)), will be sent to PagerDuty as [change events](/ai-automation/aiops/recent-changes).
