Macro Pack for Jira

Stop attaching context - start showing it

Render diagrams, documents, specifications, data and media inside the Jira work item they belong to - 30+ macros in a single app.

Overview

Core values

One app instead of one per format

A single work item can need an architecture diagram, an API specification, a spreadsheet and a PDF. Macro Pack renders all of them, so you do not install a separate app for every format.

Built for technical work

Swagger, AsyncAPI and GraphQL specifications, Markdown runbooks and source code with syntax highlighting - rendered next to the work item where they are being discussed.

Macros listed in a Jira work item, each with its source and format: Excalidraw from text input, draw.io from an attachment, BPMN from a URL and a Swagger API specification from GitHub

Content from wherever it lives

Connect to private repositories in GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket over OAuth, or read from a URL, an attachment or raw text. Nothing has to be copied in by hand.

How it works

Open the work item

Macro Pack adds its own tab to the work item's activity - no second window, no external redirects.

Bring in your content

Point a macro at a file, a repository, a URL or raw text - or reuse a resource the team already shared.

Use cases

Turn a work item into the whole story - show the diagrams, documents and data behind it without leaving Jira

Engineering work: keep the architecture diagram, the API specification and the code next to the work item that changes them.

Service requests: preview the attached document, spreadsheet or recording without downloading a single file.

Design and product reviews: put sketches, 3D models and clickable prototypes where the decision is actually made.

Analysis and reporting: render CSV and Excel results as readable tables, right under the question they answer.

Shared team context: manage one resource library and reuse it across the work items that need it.
