Forge App Jam - Episode #1 - Automation Actions & Jira Workflow Validators (Hands‑on)

[#1]

👋 later this week, with my colleague Bree, we'll kick off a new series of events showing how to build Forge apps.

In the first episode, we'll present two topics:

• Forge automation actions – what they are, how to add them to your Forge app, and how they connect into Jira automation.

• A Jira workflow validator built with Forge – a validator that blocks transitions to “Done” when there are linked issues (link type “is blocked by”) that are not yet in “Done”.

📅 Wednesday, 17 December 2025 - 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM PST

If this sounds interesting to you, register for this event here. 

Would love to see you there,
- Caterina & Bree

If you can't make it at this time, the session will be recorded and the video posted on YouTube. Registering for the event is the best way to be notified once the recording becomes available. Ok ok ok... I'll post the link here too.

The recording is now up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWYFscxQHww

And because I ran out of time while trying to show the Workflow Validator, I uploaded a short (10s) video for that part here.

The code for both apps is available at https://go.atlassian.com/faj-repo.

Hi @Caterina Curti 

Thanks to you and Bree for the awesome videos of the session!  These links are super helpful as some of us cannot register for events with a Gmail account.

I am looking forward to seeing the future sessions, with perhaps more on how to use Forge to extend automation features beyond the basics to solve current limitations in the actions / engine.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you @Bill Sheboy for your comment! I didn't know it wasn't possible to register for events with a Gmail account 🤔.
I'll keep posting the events and links here!

Another options is to subscribe to our YouTube channel and you'll then be notified when a new live stream is published (see https://www.youtube.com/@AtlassianDeveloper/streams) and when it starts.

I would love to know more about some of the use cases/limitations that would be beneficial for you and your team. You can add them here or send me a message on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/caterinacurti).

In the meantime, I hope you'll get to relax and enjoy the next couple of days.

Cheers,
Caterina
