Conference Sessions

Hear our journey in developing REST endpoints using web triggers in Forge apps for diverse customer use cases, enhancing accessibility and integration flexibility.

Key use cases include:

• Accessing the app from external systems.
• Loading data into reporting tools (e.g., EazyBI).
• Using app functions in Jira automation rules.

I will outline our process from evaluating web triggers to securing endpoints, providing insights into Forge’s capabilities, testing, and best practices for REST endpoints.

You've made a great app that delivers awesome value.

Now, how do you ensure your trial customers actually experience that value so they convert to paid customers and continue to get value so they continue to renew?

Michael Kuhl - Head of Product Analytics at Appfire shows you how to map your customer's journey from "try it now" to the "Aha moment" and then instrument that journey so you can understand how to optimize that journey to ensure they experience your app's value quickly and understand how it will make their work life better ever tiem they use it.

Michael will walk you through mapping your apps's activation journey and translating that into an event plan that captures the key steps to experiencing your apps' value proposition. Then he'll show you how to analyze that journey to find the points of friction so you can make a plan to optimize the path to the "Aha moment" when users first experience your app's value.

Once they experience the value they're more likely to convert and make their workflow that much better.

Have you ever walked away from a prospective app customer because the vendor assessment was just too arduous? Or wondered if your app’s security posture is coming through loud and clear to enterprise customers? There’s no one single answer to Marketplace trust, but now partners and customers have a new possibility: Runs on Atlassian.

Runs on Atlassian is a new badge coming to the Atlassian Marketplace that identifies apps hosted by Atlassian, keeping data on-platform and data resident. It’s designed to help enterprise customers find apps that meet strict their requirements and fast-track approvals and installations.

In this talk, Agi Ignatova and Karen White explain which apps benefit the most from Runs on Atlassian and how you can qualify. You’ll learn about new Forge features that enable partners to satisfy more use cases, while keeping customers in control of their data. But meeting the technical requirements is just the start. We’ll provide an actionable blueprint, with templates, to help you create a solid GTM plan for your Runs on Atlassian apps. Learn how to craft messaging that resonates with customers, design your promotion strategy, and become a leader in this brand new category.

Multi-Instance, Per User, Jira Decoupled, Standard, Advanced, Usage based Pricing - there’s now a range of options for how you structure your app’s pricing model. Whether you have a legacy pricing, or are bringing a new app to market, I’ll help you make sense of it all.

First we’ll cover the basics of pricing models, then talk through each of the matrix of options, and give examples of what factors are worth considering. Finally, we’ll cover some of the opportunities for expanding app functionality & capabilities that this unlocks.

Please note: this talk will not give guidance on how to price your apps, it will explain how to assess the new options, understand their impact, and help you prepare yourself and your apps for the changes.
