Integrations (App Configuration)

You can connect with platforms other than your Jira instance to plan and coordinate your team's work if they prefer to use different tools such as Trello or other Jira instances. You can connect to Trello Boards and additional Jira Cloud instances (BigPicture Enterprise required).

Once connected, you can add Trello Boards (including Cards, Lists, CheckItems, and Checklists) to the scope of your Boxes and have all your work in one place.

Each connection has a dedicated section that you can use to define the scope and types of tasks to synchronize and the task structure.
