As Connect End of Support (EOS) approaches, Atlassian shows your customers messages about apps that still use Connect. These messages help admins and end users understand how Connect EOS affects the apps they rely on.

Connect will no longer be a supported platform from 31 January 2027 and onwards. This date was extended from December 2026 to give partners and developers additional time to prepare over the holiday period.

After this date, Atlassian will only address critical security vulnerabilities in Connect, and Connect feature deprecations will happen with little notice. Connect will not remain in a steady state after end of support.

For the full timeline, read Getting Ready for Connect End of Support.

Where customers see messages

Customers see Connect EOS messages in two places:

What admins see on the Connected Apps page: messaging for site admins on the Connected Apps admin page.
What users see in your app: in-product messages: messages shown to end users and admins inside your app's Connect modules in Jira and Confluence.

How you control the messages

The messages your customers see depend on the migration intent you declare in the connectToForgeMigration module. To declare your intent and provide a link to your migration plan, see Declaring your migration intent.
