How it works…
Application Links or AppLinks is the technology used to integrate JIRA with other Atlassi-
an products, such as Confluence and Stash. With AppLinks, you can share information and
functions between the linked applications; for example, you can link your JIRA issue with
a Wiki page in Confluence or code commits in Stash.
There are a few important things to note while using AppLinks. First, you can have mul-
tiple links of the same application type, that is, you can link to multiple Confluence in-
stances. In these cases, one of the links will be the
primary link
. The primary link will be
the default application when JIRA accesses data.
Secondly, there is the authentication option. AppLinks supports three different types of au-
thentications: Trusted Applications, OAuth, and Basic Access, all of which are shown in
the following screenshot:
The available authentication options are as follows:
