Improved Jira reliability and connections

April 16, 2024

👀 What’s new?

We have built a native incident.io Atlassian app that allows you to install incident.io directly into Jira and Confluence. Moving to our Atlassian app from our OAuth authentication method will improve reliability and it won’t require you to change your existing incident.io configuration.

We wanted to improve the reliability of our connections to Atlassian apps and prevent authentication disconnections when Atlassian’s API is in a degraded state. By installing our Atlassian app directly into Jira/Confluence, disconnections will only occur if the app is uninstalled.

🤔 Why have we built this?

This installation method also gives us the possibility for creating new features that were previously not possible - this will enable us to build a more magical experience in the future.

⏭️ What should you do now?

We recommend that all customers that use Jira and/or Confluence should install the app at their earliest convenience. Visit our app on the Atlassian Marketplace. This should only take a few minutes to get set up.
