Depending on the size of your organization, you might not know who your IT admins are. If you’re stuck without admin rights and hoping to try Gliffy, here’s how to automatically request the app from within Confluence or Jira

Request Gliffy for Cloud Apps

If you're a Confluence or Jira Cloud user, simply click the yellow Try it Free button in the upper right of Gliffy's Confluence Cloud listing or Jira Cloud listing.

A modal that says Select your hosting type will pop up. At the bottom of that modal, you'll click Request this app. This allows Atlassian to contact your organization's Admin. You'll be able to enter a message explaining why the app would be a helpful addition for your team.
