- Atlassian recently announced it is acquiring Code Barrel. These are the details about the deal.
Atlassian recently announced that it is buying Code Barrel — which is known as the creators of the Automation for Jira app. The terms of the deal were undisclosed.
Automation for Jira is sold exclusively through the Atlassian Marketplace and it extends the automation capabilities across the Jira family. Plus Automation for Jira is easy to use even if you are not familiar with coding or scripting. There are more than 6,000 organizations that use it.
Code Barrel was founded by Nick Menere and Andreas Knecht — who were the first engineers to build Jira at Atlassian. With this acquisition, the founders will be working at Atlassian after leaving four years ago.
Going forward, Automation for Jira will continue to be sold in the Atlassian Marketplace for $5 per user per month for teams with up to 10 users and $2.50 per user per month for teams between 11 and 100 users. The price goes down per user per month for larger sized companies.
Automation for Jira’s customers are running over 40 million automation rules that help them operate more efficiently.
“Admins can also set up time-based rules that close out old, stale support tickets or bug reports with no activity. Plus, with dozens of built-in triggers and JQL support, you can retrieve multiple issues and set off a series of automated operations on the entire list. No matter what your rules do, your team will stay in the loop thanks to integrations with email and chat tools like Slack, Twilio, and Microsoft Teams,” said Noah Wasmer, the Head of Technical Teams at Atlassian, in a blog post. “By having computers do more of the time-consuming and error-prone work, teams can win back more of their most precious resource: time. We’re thrilled by the way Automation for Jira brings you more time to focus on deep, meaningful work and unleashes more of your team’s potential.”
