Connect Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Compass with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and more - from Move Work Forward, an Atlassian Platinum Marketplace Partner.
Atlassian tools like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Compass form the backbone of how thousands of engineering and project management teams plan, build, ship, and document their work. But no team operates inside a single ecosystem. Developers communicate in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Designers share files through Google Drive. DevOps engineers run CI/CD pipelines through Jenkins or Azure DevOps. Code lives in GitHub or GitLab repositories alongside Bitbucket.
The result is tool sprawl - and with it, context switching. A 2023 study by Atlassian found that the average knowledge worker switches between 10 different apps up to 25 times per day, losing roughly one hour of productive time. For engineering teams, the cost is even steeper: every interruption to check a build status in Jenkins, copy a commit link from GitHub into a Jira ticket, or relay a Confluence update into a Teams channel adds friction that compounds across sprints.
Atlassian integrations solve this by creating bridges between your project management hub and the rest of your toolchain. Instead of manually syncing information across platforms, integrations automate the flow of data - commits link to Jira issues automatically, build notifications appear in your team's chat channel in real time, and documentation updates in Confluence trigger alerts exactly where your team is already working.
Move Work Forward is an Atlassian Platinum Marketplace Partner with over 24 integration apps spanning Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Compass. Every app is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, built specifically to eliminate the gaps between Atlassian and the tools your team relies on daily.
Understanding the practical impact of integrations helps justify the investment and guide your selection. Here are the key benefits teams experience after connecting their Atlassian stack with external tools.
When a developer can see GitHub pull request status, Jenkins build results, and Azure DevOps pipeline updates directly inside a Jira issue, they never have to leave their project management tool to get the full picture. Similarly, when project managers receive Jira issue updates directly in Microsoft Teams or Slack, they stay informed without constantly refreshing dashboards. This reduction in context switching directly translates to faster cycle times and fewer dropped tasks.
Most teams have a preferred communication platform - whether that's Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Google Chat. Atlassian integrations let you route notifications from Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Bamboo directly into those channels. New issue assignments, pull request reviews, build failures, and page updates all appear where your team is already looking, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Without integrations, someone on your team is manually copying commit hashes into Jira issues, relaying build statuses in chat, or updating Confluence pages when a deployment completes. Integrations automate these handoffs entirely. A merged pull request in GitHub can automatically transition a Jira issue to "Done." A failed Bamboo build can instantly alert the responsible developer in Teams. A new Confluence page can auto-post a summary to your team's Slack channel. These automations recover hours per sprint across the team.
Engineering, product, QA, and leadership often need different views of the same work. Integrations create shared visibility by connecting the systems each team uses. When Azure DevOps work items link to Jira issues, engineering managers can track progress in their preferred tool while product managers monitor the same work in Jira. When Confluence documentation links to GitLab merge requests, technical writers can see exactly what code changes need documenting.
Move Work Forward's 24 Atlassian apps fall into distinct categories, each addressing a specific integration need. Here's how they break down.
These apps connect your Atlassian tools to the messaging platforms your team uses every day, ensuring real-time notifications, interactive actions, and seamless collaboration without leaving your chat window.
Microsoft Teams connectors are the largest group in this category. The Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jira lets you create, view, update, and transition Jira issues directly from Teams conversations and channels. The Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Confluence sends page and blog update notifications to Teams channels and lets you search Confluence content without switching tabs. For Bitbucket users, the Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Bitbucket delivers pull request, commit, and branch notifications to Teams. The Microsoft Teams Connector for Bamboo sends build and deployment notifications to your Teams channels. There is also a Microsoft Teams Connector Lite for Confluence for teams that need core notification features at a lower cost.
Slack connectors serve teams that prefer Slack as their hub. Slack Notifications for Bitbucket delivers repository event notifications - pushes, pull requests, comments, and approvals - directly to Slack channels. The Slack Connector for Bamboo routes build notifications from Bamboo to Slack.
Google Chat integrations round out the messaging category. Google Chat for Jira lets teams receive and act on Jira notifications within Google Chat. Google Chat integration for Bitbucket and Google Chat integration for Confluence extend the same real-time notification experience to Bitbucket repository events and Confluence page updates respectively.
For teams running Bamboo alongside multiple chat platforms, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat integration for Bamboo provides a unified notification solution that covers all three simultaneously.
For engineering teams practicing continuous integration and continuous delivery, these integrations connect your build and deployment pipelines directly to your Atlassian project tracking.
Azure DevOps for Jira is the flagship DevOps integration, letting you track branches, pull requests, commits, builds, and deployments from Azure DevOps (including Azure DevOps Server) directly within Jira issues. Development teams get full traceability from code commit to Jira issue without leaving either tool.
Jenkins and Azure DevOps Post Webhooks for Bitbucket enables Bitbucket to trigger Jenkins jobs and Azure DevOps pipelines on repository events like pushes and pull requests. This is essential for teams running Jenkins-based CI/CD alongside Bitbucket repositories.
Jigit - Jira GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps Integration is the multi-platform connector for teams whose code lives across GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. It links commits, branches, pull requests, and merge requests to Jira issues, providing a single pane of glass for development activity regardless of which repository platform your team uses.
Capybara: GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps for Jira Service Management bridges the gap between IT service management and development. Support teams using Jira Service Management can escalate tickets to development teams working in GitHub, Linear, or Azure DevOps, with automatic status synchronization ensuring support agents always see the current resolution status.
These integrations enhance the connection between your code repositories and Atlassian documentation and project management tools.
GitHub Links for Jira and GitHub Links for Confluence bring GitHub repository data directly into Jira issues and Confluence pages. View commits, pull request statuses, code snippets, and file references without navigating to GitHub.
GitLab for Confluence does the same for GitLab users, embedding merge requests, pipeline statuses, and repository information directly in Confluence documentation pages.
The Azure DevOps Connector for Confluence brings Azure DevOps work items, repositories, and pipeline information into Confluence, creating a bridge between Microsoft's DevOps platform and Atlassian's documentation tool.
For teams working with computer-aided design files, these integrations bring visual design collaboration directly into Atlassian tools - eliminating the need to install specialized desktop software just to view a model.
Model Viewer for Jira lets you view 2D and 3D CAD models directly within Jira issues. It supports over 70 file formats including DWG, SolidWorks, STEP, and IGES, with features like rotation, measurement, and cross-section views.
CAD 2D and 3D Model Viewer for Confluence embeds interactive CAD viewers in Confluence pages, enabling design reviews and technical documentation with embedded 3D models that anyone on the team can interact with - no CAD software required.
Release Notes for Compass helps engineering teams track and standardize release notes across all their components in Atlassian Compass, making it easy to communicate changes to stakeholders.
Azure DevOps for Compass integrates Azure DevOps with Atlassian Compass to enhance engineering standards and developer experience by bringing Azure DevOps pipeline and repository data into Compass component views.
Google Calendar Event to Worklog for Jira Cloud automatically creates Jira worklogs from your Google Calendar events, solving one of the most common time-tracking pain points for teams that track time in Jira but schedule their work in Google Calendar.
