Before you start

The Grok Bot app, installed and signed in. New? See where to download it and installing and signing in.
A Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) account you can sign in to.

1. What Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) is and why connect it

Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) is the company behind Jira (task tracking) and Confluence (team wiki). A connector is a link that lets your bot work inside an app for you, instead of you clicking around yourself. Once Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) is connected, you can just ask in plain words and your bot does the work in Atlassian (Jira and Confluence). New to connectors? Read What is a connector first.

2. Connect Atlassian (Jira and Confluence)

Open Grok Bot and click Connect apps in the sidebar. (Or just type "Connect Atlassian (Jira and Confluence)" to your bot; it can show a Connect card right in the chat.)
Find Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) in the list. If you can't find it, ask your bot; which connectors appear can depend on your account.
Click to connect. Your web browser opens Atlassian (Jira and Confluence)'s own sign-in page.
Sign in there and read what access it asks for, then approve. Your password goes to Atlassian (Jira and Confluence), never into the chat.
Come back to Grok Bot and test it with a simple request, like one of the ideas below.

3. What your bot can do with it

You can ask it to work with Jira issues.
You can ask it to read and write Confluence pages.

Exactly which actions are available depends on the connector's current tools. If you're not sure, ask: "What can you do with Atlassian (Jira and Confluence)?"

4. Staying in control

A connected app is available to every bot on your account. Bots draft messages and changes for your approval, and risky actions are checked by Auto-review (see Safety and approvals). To cut access later, remove the connection on the Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) side (Atlassian Support) or ask your bot how to disconnect it.

Ideas to try

Find docs.
Search Confluence for our holiday schedule page and summarize it.
Tickets.
List my open Jira issues sorted by priority.
Write it up.
Draft a Confluence page from these meeting notes. Show me before publishing.
New task.
Create a Jira issue to update the onboarding guide.

Tips

Start with read-only requests (search, list, summarize) before asking for changes.
If you have more than one account, tell the bot which one to use.
If Atlassian (Jira and Confluence) stops responding, ask your bot to check the connection. You may just need to sign in again.
