Levelling up ScriptRunner Connect: 4 new features you can't miss
If you've ever looked at ScriptRunner Connect and thought, ‘there’s something missing,’ it’s time for another look. Discover the four major updates you won't want to miss out on.
If you've ever looked at ScriptRunner Connect and thought, ‘I love the power, but something's missing,’ it’s time for a second look.
Here are four major updates that make ScriptRunner Connect faster to build in, easier to deploy, and ready for even the most compliance-driven organisations.
Remote Workspace: code where you're comfortable
If coding in a browser isn't for you, you can now integrate ScriptRunner Connect directly with your IDE of choice. And who can blame you, when you have your shortcuts, your themes, and your extensions ready to go. With Remote Workspace, you can code in ScriptRunner Connect using your existing settings and preferences. This means a consultant managing integrations for five different clients can now switch between workspaces within a single VS Code window, using their local snippets and Git history to stay organised.
- Remote script editing: Edit scripts locally and sync them instantly.
- Git version control: Bring your standard DevOps practices to your integration scripts.
- For the ‘vibe coders’: Connect to your own tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) within your IDE. Enjoy the speed of AI-assisted coding with the security of a controlled environment.
But don’t just take it from us, check out what The Adaptavist Group partner Rafa, from Ambientia, had to say about Remote Workspace.
ScriptRunner Connect's External Coding isn't just a feature–it's a statement that professional development should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their tools, accessibility needs, or preferences. You shouldn't have to choose between building powerful Atlassian automations and using the development environment that works best for you.
Your IDE, your accessibility tools, your workflow, your rules. Now go build something amazing.

Private cloud hosting: total isolation, total security
For users operating in large-scale or highly regulated industries (finance, healthcare), the "public cloud" is often a deal-breaker for you due to concerns about how your PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is stored. If that sounds familiar, you can now run ScriptRunner Connect in your isolated AWS environment for maximum security, with the option to deploy to a Corporate VPC network.
- Zero internet access: Deploy to your VPC to block all outbound internet access, ensuring data never leaves your perimeter.
- Compliance-ready: Meets the strict requirements of compliance-heavy organisations where a shared SaaS platform is not an option.
- Optimised performance: When your integrations run in the same AWS environment as your other apps, you eliminate unnecessary data hops. This means faster execution, reduced latency, and reliable performance even for high-volume workflows. This means you get both speed and resilience, so your integrations can scale without slowing down your operations.
Connector Sharing: build once, use everywhere
Stop wasting time duplicating your efforts. Admins can now set up a Connector for a tool like Jira or Salesforce in one workspace and share it with colleagues in another. This makes it easier to scale solutions across departments without re-configuring the same Connectors every time. For example, a central IT team can set up a "Master ServiceNow Connector" and share it with the HR and DevOps workspaces. Both teams can jump straight into building their specific solutions without viewing the confidential API details, or re-configuring the OAuth flow.
- Team scaling: Admins can set up an authentication once and let their team members use it without sharing sensitive credentials.
- Faster delivery: Save an hour at the beginning of every project by using shared Connectors.
AWS Marketplace: ScriptRunner Connect for ‘free’?
You can now purchase ScriptRunner Connect through the AWS Marketplace, allowing you to offset the cost against your annual AWS spend.
Offset your commit: For large organisations with an annual spend ‘commit’ with AWS, you can buy ScriptRunner Connect through the marketplace as part of that commitment.
- Easy onboarding: No new vendor onboarding—just a line item on your existing AWS bill.
- The bottom line: If your organisation hasn't hit its annual AWS spend target, you are essentially getting ScriptRunner Connect for ‘free’ by helping you work down any unused spend.

ScriptRunner Connect has evolved to meet you where you are, whether you’re a solo ‘vibe-coder’ looking for the perfect IDE workflow, or a partner seamlessly setting your client up for success.
