Insight External Import : Using forge, connect or maybe script-runner

[Gunjan Kumar]

Hi All, 

I am trying to import cmdb data into Insight (cloud) using there external import REST API. 
I was wondering if this can be done on Jira cloud platform using Forge or Connect or any script runner.

The workflow would involve:
Getting data from external service and sending that to Insight REST API for external import on schedule basis.

Also There are similar application by Atlassian ( Insight AWS Integration ), but it not for Insight cloud.

Any suggestion will be really helpful, Thank you.

Hi @Gunjan Kumar , I can confirm that I have used that external import API frist from the command line in bash with curl later in node.js and finally within a Forge app.

@Daniel Lau I am very interested how is the best way to use rest calls from Automation in regards to using credentials. For example, if someone wants to call the Atlassian Access Rest API from Automation. Thank you very much!

Hey Gunjan,

We made External Imports to be flexible to be run on as many platforms as possible. I wouldn't see any problems being done on Forge/Connect or any script runner. We even made it possible on Automation.

So yes, I believe it should work fine.

Cheers

Daniel
