Overview

If you are developing for Atlassian Marketplace it has a very good Vendor Management portal with an Open API to pull data from. This portal might be a better source of data for your Accounts in journy.io as opposed to your CRM or could journy.io might be a way for you to get proper CRM as a result of tight integration.

Let’s try to work it out!

Pre-requites

If you have engineering team in place and they are available:) you can task them with pulling data from Atlassian Marketplace API on sequence and using journy.io API to connect.

The reality is engineering teams are rarely available and/or you might want to POC it before make a commitment to assign you engineering team on it so you develop something you would need to maintain and evolve in the future.

Therefore we will be using No-code solution like Make.com in this guide plus share some ready to use blueprints. But you can do it with any other platform you are proficient in.

We will be also using message bus like Segment.com, just because Make.com has a good integration with Segment plus journy.io are fully compatible with it. This will also give you long term possibility to change journy.io with another tool and/or send same data elsewhere.

Configuring Segment Source

Login to you Segmen account and click Sources > Add source

Type API in search and select HTTP API source to add

Click Add source

Put some good name and click click Add source

That’s it - now you have where to upload data with make.com

Configuring Segment Destination

Let’s connect now this Segment source with journy.io.

Logging to your journy.io account and click on Connections > Add connection

Select Segment

Segment connection will open up. Select on Source tab and click on Api key to copy it

Go to Segment and choose Destinations > Add destination.

Search for journy and select it

Select your Source and click Next

Put some good name and select Create Destination

Click on Api Key

And copy the key from journy.io that should be still in your Clipboard. Otherwise switch to journy.io and copy it again

Good - now you have Segment fully configured to receive data from No-code tool mike make.com and push into journy.io

Let’s now play with make.com

Make.com blueprint

Login to your make.com account.

Click Scenarios > Create new scenarios

Select More > Import Blueprint

Almost there!

Making it work

You did all the work to start pulling your data from Atlassian Marketplace and pushing it to journy.io. We suggest to start with 1-2 test Licences/Accounts before upload in bulk and making it business as usual.

Test account

Before go all-in with integration you might want to test it out with 1-2 test account/licences. Go to your Atlassian Marketplace Vendor Portal and get 1-2 Entitlement Numbers for test licences you want to process

Go to Make.com and click on Atlassian Marketplace Access Properties

Put test Entitlement Number into respective property and assure that AppKey and LastUpdated are empty

Click Run once

If all good you will see all labels green

Also by clicking on execution counters you can trace end to end execution on all the steps.

Let’s go to Segment, select our Source and click Debugger tab to assure the message was sent

and finally let’s go to journy.io to check our Account created/updated

All active accounts

Once you tested it with 1-2 test licences you have 2 options:

1. Bring all active accounts and move into https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/journy/pages/edit-v2/2774433793#Final-configuration-in-journy.io

2. or do https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/journy/pages/edit-v2/2774433793#Final-configuration-in-journy.io and see how it works to for 1-2 accounts before uploading all active

Let’s bring all active licences to journy.io from Atlassian Marketplace.
