APEX Builder Extensions open the door to deeply integrating third-party services directly into the APEX development experience. This session demonstrates how to seamlessly connect Jira with the APEX Builder to streamline development workflows, enforce governance, and improve team collaboration.

We’ll walk through the architecture of Builder Extensions and show how they can surface Jira data — such as issues, sprint details, comments, and workflow status — inside the APEX Builder itself. See how developers can create, update, and link Jira issues directly while editing pages, reviewing components, or validating applications.

The session covers authentication patterns, REST API integration, secure credential management, and practical UX patterns for embedding Jira panels, actions, and quality indicators into the Builder. Attendees will leave with concrete examples, reusable patterns, and everything needed to build their own productivity-boosting integration.

Learn how to bring Jira directly into the APEX Builder to create a seamless, efficient development workflow. This session shows how APEX Builder Extensions can expose, update, and link Jira issues without ever leaving the Builder—reducing context switching, improving governance, and boosting developer productivity.
