Connection configuration overview
The connection configuration page allows you to configure connections between Confluence and Jira. Confluence-Jira connection can contain several space-project connections, called synchronisers.
Confluence - Jira Connection
The Confluence - Jira connection is the first level of link established on the connection configuration page. To create this connection, follow the steps outlined in the steps below. Once you have created a Confluence - Jira connection, you can proceed to create a Space - Project configuration.
To get started with the app and configure the first connection between Jira and Confluence, follow these steps:
Go to the SWFC configuration tab in Confluence settings.
Select "Create Jira connection".
A new page will open with an authorization request. Select your Jira instance URL and click "Accept".
A new dialogue will appear where you need to select your Jira instance once more and click "Create".
After completing these steps, your Confluence instance will be connected to Jira through the STAGIL app.
Technical user

Space - Project Synchronizer
The Space-Project synchronizer is the second link level established on the app configuration page. This configuration allows you to specify projects - space association within a particular Confluence - Jira connection. To create a Space-Project synchronizer, a Confluence-Jira connection must be already created.

First, select the Confluence - Jira connection.

Select a synchronisation mode that suits your needs. See more details on sync modes here: Sync Modes
In the ‘Type’ field, select the issue type that will be synced to a page within the selected space.
Select ‘Define per page’ to allow users to select an issue type manually (available only for ‘Selected manually’ mode.Click "Create" to create the Space - Project synchronizer.
