We’ll be presenting five use cases, where HubSpot-Jira integration bridges the gaps between teams and creates perfect synergy. Don’t waste time and join us!

We are happy to announce that we’ve maintained our Gold Marketplace Partner badge in the light of the latest updates of the program! As the Atlassian Ecosystem keeps going through continuous changes, they do not only affect the Atlassian products. The Marketplace Partner Program allows to recognize vendors and their exceptional efforts in the areas of security, trust compliance, customer support and revenue. As the new tiers have been applied to the program, we’re excited that we’re meeting these requirements and we’re ready to give our best!
ATM is our first step into the world of test management in Jira, and we continue to explore it! While creating our app, we aimed for what we’ve been personally looking for a long time - a simple tool that enhances the test management process, but also meets the newest criteria of security and design on Atlassian Marketplace. That’s why building with Forge was our choice. We’re sharing what was made possible with Forge and taking a glimpse into the future of ATM in our guest article on Atlassian Blog - it’s available here! Read and find out how we’ve built the first test management app.
With ATM, we wanted to give testers an opportunity to use a flexible tool that adapts to the testing strategy, not the other way around. The Testing Setup in ATM supports cross-project test organization, giving the teams freedom to take an approach that works best for them. And when flexibility is not an issue - what method do you choose? We’ve explored this topic in our latest webinar - the recording is available on Youtube! Don’t hesitate to watch it - we’ve discussed testing processes at three scales and dived into four different test organization models. And the best part? All of them can be created with ATM!
And to end this section, we wanted to thank Caroline Addams for sharing a review of our test management app on Atlassian Marketplace! Every feedback matters to us, as it allows us to see our products from different perspectives - and this way, our apps can become masters in their areas!
“ATM has real potential to simplify test management in Jira. It’s intuitive, cleanly integrated, and built on Forge, so you get benefits like data residency and Runs on Atlassian badge out of the box. Right now, it’s focused on manual testing, and while some key features like reporting and a REST API aren’t there yet, the team is actively building. It’s a strong start and I’m excited to see where it goes. Well done, Appsvio.”

Thank you Caroline, and we encourage you to try testing with ATM and let us know what your experiences were!
We’ve also taken a closer look at our HubSpot - Jira integration tool and introduced some updates, they were long overdue! The updated version is already on Atlassian Marketplace, so what’s new with our app?
One of the biggest announcements - the HubSpot custom fields can be applied on Customer Portal and used in Request forms. This way, the clients are given the ability to share more valuable information that will help the service teams provide better support.
However, we’re not ending here, as we aim to improve the user experience of the tool. In that case, HubSpot data is now kept in one space in the work item view - we’ve kept the dedicated HubSpot panel on the right. Additionally, users can restrict the visibility of the panel to specific projects, so that the information is accessible in spaces where needed. And regarding the needed insights - details of Jira work items, such as summary, work-key, status and priority can now be viewed in HubSpot, in contacts connected to the Jira work item. The sync is automatic, so the users don’t have to worry about the setup. This way, access to Jira is not always necessary and crucial details are at hand of teams based in HubSpot.
HubSpot CRM Integration went through lots of changes, so don’t hesitate to check out our updated documentation!
In the meantime, we’ve also attacked Custom Fields Suite - the fields can now be easily applied to Customer Portal and added to Request forms for clients. So how can this update be used in reality?
Above all, adding custom fields to Request forms can help the clients provide more valuable information in their tickets. By adding a multilevel custom field, they make their request more specific and direct - for example with details location and company details. This becomes especially useful, when working with organizations across the world.
With application of dynamic fields, service agents can get quickly updated on statuses, linked items or attachments. These fields ensure clarity, especially in fast-paced environments, where multiple teams may be involved.
On the final note, when Regex custom fields are included on the Customer Portal, the support team can be sure that the shared information is verified and they can reduce the risk of error at the earliest stages of each ticket. Custom Fields Suite is available on Atlassian Marketplace - check it out and avoid chaos on client-support teams line.
Working in the Atlassian ecosystem is not just about using the apps, but also sharing knowledge to improve our daily work lives. In July, we tackled incident management in JSM and enterprise search with Atlassian Rovo - see the details below to learn more.
Deeksha Rustagi, a Senior Product Manager at Jira Service Management in Atlassian, with Kate Pawlak - shared her insights in the first session of the webinar series that touches on IT Operations in Jira Service Management. During the three-part series, admins and responders will be taken through the whole lifecycle of an incident, so that they can swiftly deal with any crisis, while keeping the customers satisfied. This first part focused on alerting and staying ready on-call - if you missed it, the recording is uploaded to Youtube! And if you’re ready to learn more - check out our e-book, where we dive into incident communication.
With Rovo becoming a valuable teammate, we decided to dive deeper into practical uses of Rovo Search. During this event, we had a chance to learn from Kasia Wakarecy, the VP of Enterprise Applications and Data at Pythian, how her team uses Rovo to overcome daily challenges and makes their knowledge base more accessible and practical. We were happy to explore the real-life use case, especially on the enterprise scale - so go ahead and watch the recording of this session on Youtube!
If you’re craving more - don’t forget to sign up for our upcoming webinars! And with that last invitation, we’re ending our July update. See you soon!
