Introduction to Script Master

Overview

Script Master is a unique app built on top of the Atlassian Forge framework. It empowers Atlassian Administrators and Consultants to create Forge-compatible scripts, UI extensions, and integrations directly within Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud — without complex build processes or additional infrastructure.

With Script Master, you can automate tasks, perform bulk updates, extend the user interface, or build powerful integrations — all from within your Atlassian environment.

Who Is Script Master For?

Script Master is designed primarily for:

Atlassian Administrators who need to automate tasks, customize interfaces, or integrate third-party services.
Atlassian Consultants who build flexible solutions for clients across Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud.

Instead of installing dozens of separate apps for every small customization, Script Master gives you a single, powerful toolkit to do it all — from creating a custom Jira Gadget or Confluence Macro to performing bulk operations or building custom UI elements.

What Makes Script Master Unique?

🪶 Start Small, Build Only What You Need

You can start experimenting right away — no complex setup required. Try out small automations or UI tweaks and see instant results, without disrupting your current workflows.

🚀 Grow at Your Own Pace

Use built-in code snippets and ready-to-use examples to get started quickly. As your needs evolve, you can scale up to create fully Forge-compatible apps with advanced logic — all within the same environment.

🔓 No Strings Attached

If your customization grows into a full-fledged application, you can easily transition to a standalone Forge app. Script Master is 100% Forge-based, meaning:

No data ever leaves your Atlassian instance.
All code runs within Atlassian infrastructure.
Your scripts are fully compatible with the latest Forge version.

You’re never locked in — scale however you like.

All of these can be developed, tested, and deployed without leaving your Atlassian environment.
