When going to Applications as an admin, JIRA says I should be able to create an application link and link this to my quip account. This, however, does not display. 

Please advise how I am able to do this. Thanks!

Hello Steve,

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

The way to create application links will depend if you are using JIRA Cloud or Server and what is the version of your JIRA if you are using JIRA Server.

Supposing you are using JIRA Cloud or the new versions of JIRA Server, you can perform the steps below:

  1. Log in to Jira as a user with 'Jira Administrator' permissions.
  2. Choose the Jira icon ( or ) > Jira settings > Products. Select Application Links in the left menu.
  3. Enter the URL of the application you want to link to, then click Create new link.
    • If you check The servers have the same set of users... then this link will be configured using OAuth (with impersonation) authentication.
    • If you are not an admin on both servers you won't be able to set up a 2-way (reciprocal) application link. If you want to go ahead and create a 1-way link anyway, clear the I am an administrator on both instances checkbox.
  4. Use the wizard to finish configuring the link. If the application you are linking to does not have the Application Links plugin, you must supply additional information to set up a link with OAuth authentication.

For more details about the steps provided above, please check the documentation below selecting the current version of your JIRA:
