寻求Atlassian Stride与自托管Jira、Confluence服务器的替代集成方案

Great question—this is a super common pain point for teams moving from HipChat to Stride, especially those relying on self-hosted Atlassian tools. Let’s break down some practical alternatives beyond building your own app or waiting for Atlassian’s update:

1. Use Atlassian Webhooks + Stride Incoming Webhooks (with lightweight middleware) #

Both self-hosted Jira and Confluence support custom webhooks that trigger on events like issue updates, page edits, or comment additions. Stride accepts incoming webhooks to post messages to channels, but you’ll need a small middleware layer to convert the Jira/Confluence payload into a format Stride understands. Here’s how to set this up:

• Step 1: Create an incoming webhook in Stride: Go to your channel settings → Integrations → Add incoming webhook. Copy the generated URL.
• Step 2: Set up a webhook in Jira/Confluence:
  • For Jira: Navigate to Jira Settings → System → Webhooks → Create webhook. Choose the events you want to trigger (e.g., Issue Created, Issue Updated), and point the URL to your middleware endpoint.
  • For Confluence: Go to Confluence Settings → Webhooks → Create webhook. Select events like Page Created or Comment Added, and target your middleware.
• Step 3: Build the middleware: Use a serverless function (AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Function, or even a simple Express app) to transform the payload. For example, a Node.js snippet might extract key details from Jira’s payload and format it into Stride-friendly content:

  const axios = require('axios');
  
  exports.handler = async (event) => {
    const jiraPayload = JSON.parse(event.body);
    const issue = jiraPayload.issue;
    
    const strideMessage = {
      body: {
        version: 1,
        type: "doc",
        content: [
          {
            type: "paragraph",
            content: [
              { type: "text", text: `New update on issue *${issue.fields.summary}*: ` },
              { type: "text", text: `https://your-jira-instance.com/browse/${issue.key}`, marks: [{ type: "link", attrs: { href: `https://your-jira-instance.com/browse/${issue.key}` } }] },
              { type: "text", text: `\nUpdated by: ${issue.fields.reporter.displayName}` }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    };
    
    await axios.post('YOUR_STRIDE_INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL', strideMessage);
    return { statusCode: 200 };
  };
  

This gives you real-time updates without building a full Stride app.

2. Poll Atlassian REST APIs + Stride Messages API #

If real-time updates aren’t critical, you can write a simple script to periodically check Jira/Confluence for changes and post them to Stride using the Stride Messages API. Here’s a quick Python example:

• Prerequisites: Get a Stride API token (from your Atlassian account settings) and your Jira/Confluence API credentials.
• Script snippet:

  import requests
  import time
  
  # Configuration
  JIRA_URL = "https://your-self-hosted-jira.com/rest/api/2/search"
  STRIDE_API_URL = "https://api.atlassian.com/site/{your-site-id}/stride/v1/chat/{channel-id}/message"
  STRIDE_TOKEN = "your-stride-api-token"
  JIRA_AUTH = ("jira-username", "jira-password")
  
  # Fetch and send recent Jira updates
  while True:
    # Get issues updated in the last hour
    params = {"jql": "updated >= -1h", "fields": "summary,assignee,key"}
    jira_response = requests.get(JIRA_URL, auth=JIRA_AUTH, params=params)
    issues = jira_response.json()["issues"]
    
    for issue in issues:
      message = (
        f"Updated issue: *{issue['fields']['summary']}*\n"
        f"Assignee: {issue['fields']['assignee']['displayName']}\n"
        f"URL: https://your-self-hosted-jira.com/browse/{issue['key']}"
      )
      
      # Send message to Stride
      headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {STRIDE_TOKEN}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
      payload = {
        "body": {
          "version": 1,
          "type": "doc",
          "content": [{"type": "paragraph", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": message}]}]
        }
      }
      requests.post(STRIDE_API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
    
    time.sleep(3600)  # Poll every hour
  

Run this script on a server or use cron to keep it running in the background.

3. Use Low-Code Integration Tools (Beyond Zapier) #

Tools like Make (formerly Integromat) or n8n offer more flexible integration options than Zapier, and they can connect self-hosted Jira/Confluence to Stride:

• For Make: Create a new scenario, add a "Jira" trigger (e.g., "Watch Issues") pointing to your self-hosted instance, then add a "Stride" action to "Create Message". Configure Jira with an API token and authorize Stride access via your Atlassian account.
• For n8n: Self-host n8n (or use their cloud version), add Jira and Stride nodes. Configure the Jira node to connect to your self-hosted server using basic auth or API tokens, set up a trigger for events, then map Jira data to a Stride message node.
  These tools handle payload conversion and authentication out of the box, so no custom code is needed.

Key Notes #

• Permissions: Ensure your Jira/Confluence user has the necessary access (e.g., "Browse Projects" in Jira, "View Pages" in Confluence) to use APIs and webhooks.
• Rate Limits: Check Atlassian’s rate limits for the Stride API to avoid hitting caps if sending high volumes of messages.
• ADF Format: Stride uses Atlassian Document Format (ADF) for messages—keep this in mind when formatting payloads (the examples above use simplified ADF for brevity).
