I want to write JIRA integration to implement my own nodejs backend, but I’m confused by the options. I just want to send issues and similar events to my own backend regardless of user input. So I want to proceed as an application. I also don’t want to develop modules on separate pages or jira. I just want to send the data to my own backend without user oauth. As far as I understand this doesn’t fit forge.
How can I proceed, can you help? thanks.
I think easiest option is to define Jira webhook: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-webhooks/ It can call you nodejs backend.
Other option is to create Connect plugin: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/
Also you could use Jira Automation with Send web request component:
