This article illustrates the process of linking Confluence to another app via Application Links (sometimes called "app links" or AppLinks). Markdown-url macro will prompt you to authorise the app, on the first instance of rendering Markdown content in the macro. Creating AppLinks has many advantages such as:1.

  • Security: password is required only at the time of creating an AppLink.

  • Usability: since an AppLink is created through one-time authentication of credentials, you do not have to change your password frequently.
