The primary goal is to enable approvers to submit decisions (approve / reject / abstain, when available) with minimal UI interaction, while preserving strong security, auditability, and flexible integration options for customers.\n\nThe solution consists of:\n\n-\nan API-key–secured endpoint for retrieving signed action links (24-hour validity)\n\n-\na signed voting endpoint\n\n-\nAtlassian login and account linking for external approvers\n\n-\n(additional) webhooks that notify customers about approval changes, eliminating the need for periodic polling\n\n1. REST API Key privilege for signed action links (24h)\n\nA new API Key privilege enables customers to programmatically retrieve signed action links for a given approval step.\n\n-\nNew privilege: Get Step Links\n\n-\nConfigurable via the API Key edit form\n\n-\nEndpoint access requires an API key with this privilege enabled\n\nEndpoint behavior\n\n-\nMandatory parameters: approvalId, stepId\n\n-\nOptional parameter: whether login as an external user is required (true by default)\n\n-\nReturns signed action links (valid for 24 hours) containing all information in jwt for all available actions\n\n-\nClear validation errors for missing or invalid parameters\n\nThis allows customers to request links only when needed, without embedding long-lived credentials in URLs.\n\n2. Secure vote endpoint (approve / reject / abstain)\n\nA secure REST endpoint allows external approvers to submit a decision for a specific approval step.\n\n-\nMandatory: signed action ink created in point 1, JWT parameter contains information about approval id, step id, action type, and whether login is required\n\n-\nSupported action values: approve, reject, abstain (if available for the step)\n\n-\nSecurity: signed, short-lived token valid for 24 hours\n\n-\nOptional flag indicating whether login is required (not required by default)\n\n-\nAvailable to external approvers, who may have an account in the application\n\nIf the user is not logged in and login is required, the endpoint returns an appropriate message and initiates a redirect flow.\n\nUX behavior for linked Atlassian users\n\n-\nIdentity is resolved from the external approver’s user session\n\n-\nThe decision is submitted without a confirmation screen, allowing the browser tab to be closed immediately\n\nExisting users (email-based voting) or users not logged in\n\n-\nThe decision requires confirmation in the UI by confirming the action.\n\n-\nUsers not yet linked to an Atlassian account are informed that linking their account enables confirmation-free voting\n\n3. Atlassian login for external approvers & account linking\n\nAtlassian login is added for external approvers to support seamless, session-based voting.\n\n-\nOn successful login:\n\n-\nAtlassian user details (e.g. accountId, email, name) are persisted in the database (e.g. approval_user table)\n\n-\nA persistent mapping is created between:\n\n-\nthe external approver account (our system)\n\n-\nthe Atlassian user account\n\nThis enables smoother UX and reliable identity resolution for direct-link voting.\n\n4. Additional: approval webhooks to avoid polling\n\nAs an enhancement, webhook support enables customers to react to real approval changes instead of polling the API.\n\n-\nConfiguration: Webhook URLs configurable in Global Settings\n\n-\nEvents:\n\n-\nApproval created\n\n-\nApproval step decided (approve / reject / abstain)\n\n-\nApproval completed (final approved / final rejected)\n\n-\nPayload includes: approval, step (if applicable), decision, timestamps\n\n-\nSecurity: public key + timestamp endpoint for verification\n\nOutcome:\n Customers know exactly when to request step links or refresh approval state, eliminating cyclical polling and improving integration efficiency.⟦/d22ac284⟧","origin":"issue description"},"fields":[{"id":"priority","name":{"untrusted":"⟦d22ac284⟧Priority⟦/d22ac284⟧","origin":"field name set by a Jira admin"},"value":{"untrusted":"⟦d22ac284⟧Priority: MediumMedium⟦/d22ac284⟧","origin":"field value"}}],"attachments":[],"comments":{"total":0,"items":[]}}},"actions":[],"unavailableActions":[],"reminder":"End of data.
