A multi-language framework for writing out-of-process add-ons for Atlassian products such as JIRA, Confluence and HipChat. An add-on could be an integration with another existing service, new features for the Atlassian application, or a new product that runs within the Atlassian application. Connect add-ons are web applications that operate remotely over HTTP and can be written with any programming language and web framework.
Connect add-ons have three major capabilities:
- Insert content in certain defined places in the Atlassian application's UI.
- Make calls to the Atlassian application's REST API.
- Listen and respond to WebHooks fired by the Atlassian application.
