how to sync the development statuses on jira and sfdc

I'm trying to write an apex program that would automatically update the development status on an SFDC case when the Jira issue status is updated, but am a little lost. I was thinking a trigger could work, but I don't think an apex trigger can be activated from a third party object. Any suggestions/thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hi ,
I am assuming that you have to do a bidirectional Sync
 
Case 1: -If Status  is Updated in SFDC à Sync to JIRA
You can use the JIRA REST or SOAP API to do it . You can call Callouts from trigger
 
Case 2:- If you update status in JIRA ,you need to Sync to SFDC
You can use JIRA http web hooks . https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/webhooks

Once I register the webhook, should I just set the SFDC status field equal to the Jira issue field?

Also, does the webhook work if I'm not using an add-on or connector? In other words, can i code the webhook to do whatever I want it to or are there predefined functions for it?
