Introduction
The old
do it alone
approach is no longer applicable in today's IT environment. Applica-
tions and platforms need to work together in order to meet the needs of organizations. For
this reason, the ability to integrate JIRA with other applications has become ever more im-
portant.
You can integrate applications with JIRA in many ways. JIRA itself comes with support to
integrate with other Atlassian applications and a number of other popular
Software as a
Service
(
SaaS
) applications, such as GitHub. Other than the integration supported out of
the box, there are also many third-party add-ons that provide integration with applications
and platforms such as Google Drive. And lastly, there is webhooks, a relatively new ap-
proach which allows any other application to register with JIRA for callbacks when certain
events occur.
