The future of add-ons for JIRA, Confluence, and beyond. Today, we’re proud to announce the general availability of Atlassian Connect – a completely new way to build add-ons in the cloud for JIRA and Confluence OnDemand. It’s easy to get started, and you can write in the development language of your choice. And there’s already two dozen add-ons from Atlassian and our partners ready to use in JIRA and Confluence OnDemand. What’s Atlassian Connect? Since we launched JIRA and Confluence OnDemand, our customers have asked for a way to customize their OnDemand instances with add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace. Atlassian Connect is the solution. Now, any developer can write add-ons for JIRA and Confluence OnDemand. Here’s how it works: Descriptor – Any web application – written in any language – can become an Atlassian Connect add-on. All it has to do is provide a simple JSON file to describe itself to Atlassian applications. Atlassian has already built client libraries for Node.js and the Play framework to make getting started even easier. Data – Atlassian Connect add-ons can insert content into JIRA and Confluence via almost two dozen UI extension points called modules. You can insert a custom field into JIRA, a macro into Confluence, or a full webpage in either application. Connect add-ons can fetch data from the Atlasisan app and push data back via standard REST APIs. Design – The Atlassian Design Guidelines (ADG) make it super easy to make beautiful Connect add-ons that mesh with JIRA and Confluence. Ping – Add-ons can also listen to the Atlassian application for changes, like an issue transition in JIRA. When a change occurs, the add-on can respond appropriately. Profit – Seriously! If you’re a developer, you can sell your Atlassian Connect add-on through the Atlassian Marketplace. Learn more here. Get started with Atlassian Connect Interested in learning more?
