or AppLinks). If a URL that contains the base URL of a linked application is given in the URL parameter of the macro editor, the macro recognizes the URL and directly renders the Markdown content on the Confluence page. After the initial verification, URLs to this linked application are treated as direct links and do not need any further authentication. Creating app links has many advantages, such as:
- Security: is only required to authenticate user credentials when an application link is created.
- Usability: Authentication is done only when the application link is created, thus, frequent prompts for user credentials are avoided.
- Seamless access across the platform: Administrators have to configure application links only once for permitted users to access the app.
