FormHub for Confluence and Jira

Why FormHub?

Documentation

For teams that already live in Confluence and Jira, FormHub turns forms from passive data collection into structured intake, readable records, and trackable work.

Most form tools stop when someone clicks Submit. FormHub is built for what happens after that.

The problem you actually have

Your team already has forms. They are just scattered across tools that were never designed to be the center of Atlassian work.

Requests come in through survey links, spreadsheets, email, chat messages, one-off Confluence tables, and Jira tickets with half the context missing. The submission exists somewhere. The work happens somewhere else. The record, the approval, and the follow-up all drift apart.

That creates the same problems over and over:

People do not need another disconnected form tool. They need an intake layer that belongs inside Confluence and knows when to create Jira work.

What FormHub does differently

FormHub runs as a Confluence app and treats a form submission as the start of a business process, not the end of a survey.

Forms live where the work lives

Put a form directly on a Confluence page. The instructions, context, form, responses, and next steps stay together instead of sending users to a separate survey site.

Reusable forms without rebuilding

Build a saved form once, then use it across multiple Confluence pages. Page owners can still configure page-specific submit actions, response access, and follow-up behavior.

Confluence records from submissions

When a process needs a readable record, FormHub can create a Confluence page from the submitted values. That is useful for onboarding, project intake, approvals, and documentation-heavy workflows.

Jira issues with the right context

When a request should become work, FormHub can create a Jira issue with the project, work type, title, description, and mapped fields your team expects.

Follow-up Jira tasks, not just one ticket

Some submissions need multiple downstream tasks. A Jira follow-up tasks field can create child or linked Jira issues based on the answers the submitter selected.

Response access and reporting built in

Form creators and permitted viewers can review responses, export data, and use reports without handing every page viewer access to sensitive submissions.

Six use cases FormHub is built for

These are not abstract survey examples. They are the kinds of forms teams already run inside Confluence and Jira every day.

Use case 1

IT support and access requests

Collect the requester, system, urgency, device details, screenshots, and business reason from a Confluence page. Create a Jira issue for the IT team, with priority, labels, due dates, and required fields mapped from the form.

Use case 2

Employee onboarding and offboarding

Capture employee details, manager, start or last day, equipment, software access, and special instructions. Create the parent Jira issue, then generate follow-up tasks for IT, facilities, HR, security, and finance based on selected checklist items.

Use case 3

Project and feature intake

Give teams a consistent way to submit ideas, business cases, requirements, target dates, and impact. Create a Confluence planning page, a Jira issue, or both, so the request becomes a visible piece of work instead of a buried message.

Use case 4

Approvals and operational requests

Use FormHub for overtime approvals, travel authorization, facilities requests, purchase requests, and policy exceptions. Keep the request on a Confluence page, restrict response visibility, and route approved work into Jira when needed.

Use case 5

Security, privacy, and compliance intake

Collect structured details for access reviews, security exceptions, data privacy requests, vendor security reviews, and audit findings. Keep sensitive responses limited to the right viewers while still creating Jira follow-up work for remediation.

Use case 6

Feedback, surveys, and reporting

Run internal surveys, CSAT, NPS, training evaluations, customer feedback, and process improvement forms from Confluence. Review response tables, export data, and use reports without sending users to a separate survey platform.

Why this matters in Atlassian teams

Generic form tools are good at collecting answers. Atlassian teams need more than that. They need the answer to become the thing the team can act on.

FormHub connects the intake to the artifact.

A submitted form can stay as a response, become a Confluence record, become a Jira issue, create multiple follow-up Jira tasks, or do several of those at once.

That means fewer copy-paste handoffs, fewer incomplete tickets, fewer hidden spreadsheets, and less confusion about where the official record lives.

Is FormHub right for you?

Who FormHub is for

  • Teams that already use Confluence as the front door for process documentation.
  • Teams that want requests to create Jira work without manual re-entry.
  • Teams that need reusable forms, templates, conditional fields, and branded layouts.
  • Teams collecting sensitive responses that should not be visible to every page viewer.
  • Teams that want response review, exports, and reports inside the Atlassian workflow.

Who it is not for

  • Teams that only need a public marketing form for anonymous website visitors.
  • Teams that want every submission to live permanently in an external spreadsheet first.
  • Teams that do not use Confluence and have no plan to use it as the form surface.
  • Teams looking for a full BPM suite with complex workflow routing outside Atlassian.

Questions teams usually ask before installing

Do we need Jira?

No. FormHub can collect responses and create Confluence records without Jira. Jira becomes important when you want submissions to create trackable work.

Can a saved form be reused?

Yes. A saved form definition can be inserted into more than one Confluence page. Each page can still have its own macro settings.

Can we control who sees responses?

Yes. Response and report access can be limited to the creator, admins, and selected viewers. The Confluence page permissions still control who can see the page itself.

What happens after someone submits?

The response is stored in FormHub. Depending on the form settings, FormHub can also create a Confluence page, create a Jira issue, append to a Confluence page, or create follow-up Jira tasks.

Does FormHub replace Jira workflows?

No. FormHub creates the Jira work with structured context. Jira still controls workflow statuses, transitions, boards, queues, and ownership after the issue is created.

Who built FormHub?

FormHub is built by Churrie Works Inc., a small independent software vendor focused on practical Atlassian apps for teams that run real work in Confluence and Jira.
