Added Introduction of App events (preview)

We’re introducing the ability for apps to publish events, allowing for enhanced interoperability between apps. This feature enables apps to subscribe to events using the existing https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/trigger/ module, opening up new possibilities for app interactions.

More details

Developers can start using app events by implementing the https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/event/ module in their apps. For detailed guidance and examples, refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/events-reference/app-events/.

To publish events using the runtime API, you need at least version 2.0.0 of the @forge/events dependency. Add this to your package.json:

1 2 3 4 5 { "dependencies": { "@forge/events": "^2.0.0" } }

Added New `getUrl` method in @forge/bridge package

A new getUrl method has been added to router in @forge/bridge. The method will accept a NavigationLocation object and return a URL object for the corresponding destination.

This method is in Preview. For more details, see the router documentation.

More details

Run npm install --save @forge/bridge@latest in your resource directory to install the latest version of Forge bridge.

Added openOnInsert parameter added for classic macro configuration

We've added an openOnInsert parameter for macros with classic configuration. This parameter allows you to control whether the configuration panel is automatically opened on macro insert, enhancing the user experience by providing more flexibility.

To use this feature, you must be on the latest @forge/cli version 11.6.0. For more information, see the macro module documentation.

Announcement Teams can now be modified via existing Group APIs

Atlassian Team entities are now able to be modified via many existing Group APIs if a Team ID is passed instead of a Group ID. They will not be returned in search or lookup results. They can be fetched and modified by ID.

Rollout: Progressive rollout by tenant in progress

More details

This will be visible from Cloud Admin APIs immediately after rollout. Jira and Confluence APIs will take longer to roll out.

Added Support for blob objects in events API

Blob objects can now be sent and received via the events API. This enhancement allows for more efficient data handling and transmission within the API.

Update to the latest version of @forge/bridge with npm install --save @forge/bridge@latest

Removed We’ve started deprecating legacy incoming webhooks

On February 10th 2025, we announced the Deprecation of automation.atlassian.com incoming webhooks for Automation rules https://developer.atlassian.com/changelog/#CHANGE-2299. As of 30 May 2025, the legacy incoming webhook has now been deprecated.

More details

What is changing?

We’ve started to gradually shut down the legacy endpoint across all customer sites. Rules recently triggered through legacy webhooks will now be marked with error icons.

How does that impact me?

To view impacted rules:

  1. Open the automation rule list in Jira or Confluence.

  2. Click on the ‘Trigger' filter and select the ‘Incoming webhook’ filter. All rules triggered by an incoming webhook will be shown.

  3. Within these filtered rules, any which have recently been triggered through a legacy webhook will have a error icon next to their name. This shows which rules were unable to complete a successful run due to using the legacy URL.

  4. To learn how to update these rules, you can read our support documentation.

How do I migrate to the new endpoint?

Since incoming webhooks may be called from non-Atlassian systems that we don’t have access to, or aren’t aware of, rule owners will need to migrate impacted rules to the new endpoint manually, read our support documentation.

Announcement Announcing new Atlassian font assets availability for connect apps

Atlassian font assets are now being preloaded by the Connect JS library (ACJS) to support consistent typography across Atlassian and Connect apps. These assets are served from dedicated design system CDN https://ds-cdn.prod-east.frontend.public.atl-paas.net.

Summary of changes

Connect apps using the standard all.js ACJS bundle will now automatically pre-load:

  • atlassian-fonts.css

  • Atlassian Sans font files (e.g., AtlassianSans-latin.woff2)

These files are delivered from the new ds-cdn host. The change was previously gated and is now enabled for all Connect apps.

Required developer action

Apps with a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) must update their style-src and font-src directives to allow the new CDN host. Without this, CSP violations may block font and styles loading.

Update your CSP to include:

1 2 style-src https://ds-cdn.prod-east.frontend.public.atl-paas.net font-src https://ds-cdn.prod-east.frontend.public.atl-paas.net
More details

This change improves visual alignment with Atlassian’s visual refresh program. For further background, see:

Added New Confluence product events for labels

We’ve added new Confluence product events for labels:

  • avi:confluence:created:label

  • avi:confluence:added:label

  • avi:confluence:removed:label

  • avi:confluence:deleted:label

You can use these events to invoke your Forge app function when label is created, added to an entity, removed from an entity, or deleted. For more details see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/events-reference/confluence/#labels.

Announcement A higher Forge function memory limit can now be configured for your app

With the Forge CLI 11.5.0 release, we've enhanced the Forge platform to let you specify the memory available to functions at runtime by setting the memoryMB property in the Manifest (https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/#runtimev2) . Increasing the function memory also increases its CPU allocation. The memory value can now be set between 128 MB and 1,024 MB, doubling the previous limit of 512 MB. If you do not configure the function memory, the default memory allocation of 512MB applies to your function. This change helps address out-of-memory (OOM) issues by allowing higher memory allocation.

More details

For more information on configuring Forge function memory, see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/#runtimev2.

For details on the relationship between memory and CPU allocation, refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-memory.html.

Added New Confluence page banner module

We’ve released a new module, Confluence page banner, which enables apps to add a banner to Confluence pages. This module is generally available.

More details

This feature provides equivalent Forge functionality to the Connect Confluence atl.general web panel.

Deprecation Notice Unscoped Atlassian Connect npm packages in favor of @atlassian scoped packages

We are deprecating the following Atlassian Connect-related unscoped npm packages in favor of their @atlassian scoped equivalents.

Starting 23rd of June 2025, these packages will no longer be supported, and we recommend transitioning to the corresponding scoped packages instead.

The affected packages are:

old package name

new package name

latest version of new package

atlassian-connect-js

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-js

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-js 5.3.190

simple-xdm

@atlassian/simple-xdm

@atlassian/simple-xdm 2.4.0

atlassian-connect-express

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-express

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-express 11.5.3

atlas-connect

@atlassian/atlas-connect

@atlassian/atlas-connect 0.9.1

connect-to-forge

@atlassian/connect-to-forge

@atlassian/connect-to-forge 1.1.0

atlassian-jwt-js

@atlassian/atlassian-jwt

@atlassian/atlassian-jwt 2.1.1

atlassian-connect-validator

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-validator

@atlassian/atlassian-connect-validator 0.1.0

atlassian-oauth2

@atlassian/atlassian-oauth2

@atlassian/atlassian-oauth2 0.6.0

The scoped packages maintain 100% API compatibility with their unscoped versions, ensuring a seamless migration experience. We recommend updating to the scoped versions as soon as possible before the deprecation date.

All of these packages are part of the Atlassian Connect ecosystem and are used for developing Connect apps. The scoped packages provide identical functionality but align with our standardized package naming conventions. This change helps ensure consistency across our npm ecosystem and improves package security.

To update your dependencies, replace the unscoped package names with their scoped equivalents in your package.json files.

If you encounter any issues during migration, please reach out through the Developer Community forums.

Announcement API Token Rate Limiting

  • We’re notifying you regarding the use of API tokens. Starting November 22, 2025, Atlassian will implement rate limits for API tokens to ensure a consistent, reliable, and secure experience for all users.

  • If you are using API tokens, please review this documentation to learn more about the limits

  • In some circumstances, where integrations using API tokens heavily impact the stability of our platform, we reserve the right to enforce the limits at an earlier date. If you will be rate-limited before November 22, 2025, Atlassian will contact you directly.

  • The introduction of rate limits is a proactive measure to safeguard our platform's stability and security. Rate limits help ensure platform stability and reliability by preventing integrations from overloading Atlassian’s systems.

Added Specify scopes for API tokens in Jira and Confluence

You can now specify what actions an API token has permission to perform. When you create an API token from your Atlassian account, you can select the scopes for the API token. This change enhances security by allowing you to define specific permissions for API tokens.

More details

To create an API token with scopes:

  1. Log in to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.

  2. Select Create API token with scopes.

  3. Give your API token a name that describes its purpose.

  4. Select an expiration date for the API token (1 to 365 days).

  5. Select the app you’d like the API token to access.

  6. Select the scopes to determine what the API token can do in Jira or Confluence.

  7. Select Create.

  8. Select Copy to clipboard, then paste the token to your script, or save it somewhere safe. You can't recover the API token after this step. We recommend saving your API token in a password manager.

Added Forge - New Confluence bridge APIs for Live Docs

We’ve added 3 new Confluence bridge APIs to improve how Forge apps can interact with Live Docs. When editing a Live Doc or Page, the content within the editor can be ‘ahead’ of its latest snapshotted or published version. These new Confluence bridge APIs allow Forge apps to interact with that latest content in the editor, even if it hasn’t been snapshotted or versioned yet.

  1. getEditorContent - Return an ADF object representing the latest editor content of an entire document.

  2. getMacroContent - Return an ADF object of the current Forge extension macro.

  3. updateMacroContent - Update the content of the current Forge macro.

Read more detailed documentation about these new Confluence bridge APIs here.
