Confluence and Jira - how the programs work together

Confluence and Jira are programs designed to make teamwork easier and more effective. While Jira specializes in project tracking, Confluence focuses on communication and the exchange of knowledge. Therefore, it makes sense to let the programs work together.

How Confluence and Jira work together

To combine the best of both programs and let Confluence and Jira work together, there are numerous advantages. For the most part, this can be done easily, although additional add-ons can also be purchased for further interactions to make collaboration even more promising.

• For example, you can link to a Confluence page from Jira by following the path "More actions" > "Link" > "Confluence page". If you now specify a page in Confluence, a hyperlink is created that you can easily follow with a mouse click.
• You also have the option to create a Jira task from Confluence. To do this, simply go to "Insert Jira task/filter" and then go to "Create new task".
• In addition, you can also add a Jira filter in Confluence. You can also do this via the path mentioned above.
• Another advantageous option is the automated page creation in Confluence, which can be started from a Jira task. However, for this you need to download a paid corresponding add-on such as ScriptRunner.
• A paid add-on is also required for automated task creation from Confluence. An example of this is for example "ConfiForms".
