Including notifications from JIRA
The Confluence workbox can include notifications from your JIRA issue tracker but
this requires some extra setup.
To include notifications from JIRA, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure JIRA and Confluence are connected via application links.
1.
Browse to the Administration Console (
Administration
|
Confluence Admin
).
2.
Select
Application Links
from the left-hand side menu.
3.
Select
Add Application Link
and follow the wizard to create
a new application link. (There is more about application links in
Chapter 8
,
Advanced Confluence
.)
4.
If your JIRA server is linked to multiple Confluence servers, make
sure the primary application link is to the Confluence server that will
display the in-app notifications.
2.
Select
In-app Notiications
from the left-hand side menu from
the Administration Console.
3.
Select
display in-app notifications from other servers
.
° Your JIRA server will appear in the list of linked applications.
° Your users will see JIRA notifications in the Confluence workbox.
Note that this feature is only available for JIRA 5.2 or later. JIRA will send its
notifications only to the Confluence server that is configured as the primary
application link.
Sending notifications to another Confluence server
Confluence can send and receive notifications to or from another Confluence
server. To demonstrate how to set this up, let's assume we have two Confluence
servers
ConfSend
and
ConfReceive
, where
ConfSend
will send its notifications
to
ConfRecieve
.
To send notifications to another Confluence server, perform the following steps:
1. Connect both Confluence installations via applications links.
In
ConfReceive
:
1.
Browse to the Administration Console (
Administration
|
Confluence Admin
).
2.
Select
Application links
from the left-hand side menu.
