Is it possible currently to build a Forge app that can integrate with a 3rd party app via Oauth2?

Hi,

I just want to know is it possible (or at least within the realm of possibility) currently to build a Forge app that can integrate with a 3rd party app via Oauth 2.0? Has anyone done this before? I’m new to Atlassian and Forge platform so I got much to learn, thanks in advance!!! #forge #codegeist-2021

Hi,

I think it is possible with https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/custom-ui/

You will not know the challenges you may face until you try.

I could not find it in the external roadmap: Ecosystem Roadmap for developers

But we are actively working on this feature (Ping @Nir ) and it should be shipped before the end of the year.

Which OAuth provider would you want to integrate against?

Hi @rmassaioli thanks for the reply! I’m trying to integrate with popular chat apps like Slack, Teams, Whatsapp, Messenger etc. Maybe social medias like Twitter, Facebook as well. It’s such a pity that Oauth 2.0 feature cannot make it in time for the hackathon but well there’s another year!

Thanks for letting us know which providers you are integrating against. Internally we are calling this project “External Auth”. I’m not sure what it will be called when we release it publicly yet, stay tuned!
