Confluence's tightest, most common integration is with Jira -- linking a Confluence page directly to Jira issues, or embedding a live Jira issue/report macro inside a page -- since the two products are built by Atlassian to work together as one connected system rather than requiring a third-party bridge.
- Link requirements or design pages directly to their corresponding Jira issues/epics rather than maintaining that connection manually in text
- Use the Jira macro to embed live, auto-updating issue lists or reports inside a Confluence page instead of pasting static screenshots
- For integrations beyond the Atlassian ecosystem, check the Marketplace for an existing app before building against the REST API directly
