This article illustrates the process of linking Confluence to Jira using application links (sometimes called app links or AppLinks). If a linked Jira instance is specified in the Jira application link parameter of the JQL Table macro editor, the macro recognizes the link, and directly renders the Jira issues issues as per the specified JQL search on the Confluence page. After the initial verification, URLs to this linked instance are treated as direct links and do not need any further authentication. Creating app links has many advantages such as:

...

Info
titlePrerequisites for creating app links:
  • To link Confluence to another app, you must be an administrator for both the apps.
  • Atlassian recommends that you use OAuth with impersonation authentication if you select the The servers have the same set of users option when linking.
  • You require a working URL link for the Jira instance to be linked with Confluence.

...

Instructions

Create the application link in Confluence administration as mentioned in the Confluence support page on application links. Once the linking is successful, you can see the status as Connected in green.

  1. Add a JQL Table macro on your Confluence to a Confluence page, or edit an existing macro to see the macro editor.
  2. Specify any of the linked Jira instances in the macroeditor's Jira application link parameter. 
Info
titlePoints to remember
  • Administrators can link Confluence with other Atlassian applications such as Bitbucket or Jira.
  • After the links are created, user credentials are authenticated only once when an application linked URL is processed through a macro.
  • Once user credentials have been verified through the macro, URLs given from a verified application link then works like an absolute path to the specified Jira instance.
