JWT remote actions connect your Jira workflows to any web service with a REST API — whether it's another Atlassian product like Confluence or an external service like ServiceNow, Trello, or your own internal tools.
With the Execute remote action post function, you can trigger actions on external services directly from a workflow transition — no scripts, no middleware, no custom development. Create Confluence pages, transition issues across Jira instances, invite users, log work, manage assets, and much more.
