      Shipped!

      Good news! This feature has shipped to all customers and we have closed this issue.

      You can set up your personal notifications with these instructions:

      • In any Slack channel send a /jira notify message.
      • You will be prompted to select the Jira sites you would like to receive notifications for and the types of events you would like to be notified for. These options should be familiar if you have ever configured your Jira email notifications.
      • The personal notifications will come to you via a DM with the Jira bot user.
        • Note: At this time Slack does not offer a way to control the "loudness" of these notifications so Slack will send alerts to you for every notification (like a DM with any other user).
      • If you would like to share feedback (good or bad) with us about this or any other feature you can always type /jira feedback we read all of your feedback and use it to help guide our decisions for future work.

      Thank you for your patience while we built out this feature we hope you like it and find it useful.

      Original Issue Description

      As a user, I would like to be notified in Slack when tickets that are associated with me (watching, assigned, reporter, etc. as options) have been modified.

       

      Examples from other tickets:

      • However we would like to ask whether it is possible to list the Jira issues that are currently assigned to you (for example all issues that are assigned to you and are in status In Progress) from SLACK?

            Hello

            Don't know whether this is actually going to cover my needs or not... I need not to be bothered in Slack when the change in Jira has been made by me (new comment, edit issue...), I already know about that change. Is it something that already can be configure somehow? Will this Suggestion/Feature cover this topic?

            Thanks!

            @Trevor Thompson - Would it be possible to enroll in the beta for 2nd phase or something. I was waiting for a long time and somehow missed registering for the beta test. I would be able to test it thoroughly on multiple teams and scenarios and provide meaningful test results. Thank you in advance.

            Hi 7a8a7f982d34,

            I've seen this happen if you're not logged in with a Atlassian account, OR if the Atlassian account you're logged in with doesn't have access to Jira. I just pushed a change to display an error message in the latter case. Please let me know if you still see the issue. Thanks!

            Hi Trevor,

            We've been testing out the new feature in our team. A colleague and me signed up for the Beta. He was able to configure it and click "Set personal notifications". However, nothing happens when I click that button. The loader wheel just keeps spinning and then disappears (Tried doing it both in the desktop app and in the browser (Chrome). Could this be a bug where it's not working for more than one person in the same Slack workspace?

            Hi All,

            The beta registration has ended and the signup google form has closed.

            I'm happy to announce to beta testers that this feature is now live for you. You can access it by typing `/Jira notify` and should get a DM from the bot announcing the feature.

            Please let me know your thoughts on the experience through `/Jira feedback`. If you have any issues we will help you through that feedback mechanism.

            Thanks for participating!

            Hey everyone! Happy Friday.. I bring you all good news!

            We're just about ready to beta test this feature. We'd love to include each of you in this beta test; can you please submit your Slack Team ID (instructions how to find it on the form) to this google form?

            Our team is feeling it too  

            We're doing some very early testing of this feature internally. Still really tough to say when exactly, but I'd say it's safe to say we're getting close

            Hey, Trevor – appreciate your previous update on this, but was hoping you could give us another one: are you guys anywhere near release for this feature?

            It's OK either way; it'll help just to know! With my entire team remote for the foreseeable future, improvements to collaboration workflow are really important to us, so if the feature is still a ways out I'll probably prioritize hacking together a duct-tape version of this with webhooks that does just what my coworkers and I need. If it's about to ship, though, I'd probably wait.

            I'm guessing I'm not the only one here with this issue right now – any information you can offer?

            I'm not one to give public timelines (I mean, who here wouldn't be upset if we missed it?) but just know this - it's in active development, it's the number #1 thing we're working on right now, and we're also super pumped about this feature.

            It will be a 1 click button feature for turning each of the above options on or off. I'm fairly confident we will support mentions across all fields, not just comments.

            amazing! will it be a JQL or "button" feature? 
            will the mentions that get posted in slack by the bot happen only for comment or also for mentions anywhere else (summary etc)?

            Hey Martin, the current design would be to set up direct messages from the bot in Slack. You'd be able to use the same settings as your personal Jira notification settings such as

            Hi Trevor,

            This sounds really good and something we’re really looking forward to. Thank you for acting on this so quickly! A HUGE plus would be if it could be configured so that you receive a DIRECT message on Slack whenever someone mentions you on Jira, and not just in some dedicated Slack channel.

            Hi everyone,

            How is this not a thing yet? I can only set notifications up to be notified every time a comment is created, regardless of if they have anything to do with me? Why even offer notifications about comments? As soon as you're a team of more than 4 people, using Jira to discuss tasks, this will result in a lot of irrelevant messages.

            I play a limited role with the dev team once they start working on implementing a design, but I need to know when I am mentioned in a comment. 

             

            Today it was to clarify how to test a widespread design change and find all occurrences of the change for testing. Other times it's been to clarify implementation of a design. 

             

            I setup Jira notifications assuming that I could filter by mentions and was quite surprised that I couldn't. The integration doesn't help me without being able to filter out all the noise of other things happening.

            Our team is constantly missing comments on tickets when they are mentioned - it's a real pain point for us. We get so many emails that it is difficult to track. Having the ability to receive a notification in Slack when they are mentioned in a comment / ticket would be very useful and improve workflow.

            I'm a TPM. So for me the most important Jira notification is when someone @mentions me. Usually they're asking a question which needs a quick reply.
            Right now, I have to look at Email, Slack, Jira's own Notifications (bell icon - which is useful, btw) and Google Drive notifications (already integrated that to Slack). That's 3 places to keep checking. Adding this feature will let me reduce it by 1.

            Bumping that idea that if someone @mentions someone in jira, that should alert them in slack. That would be the #1 most useful slack integration. I honestly don't even care about any other form of integration.

            Emails are insecure, slow, and not the way that distributed technology teams collaborate.  Integrating Jira callouts into the modern workflow is essential to Jira and just a no-brainer from my perspective.

            Related to this, it would be nice to have more filtering options within the slack integration. Not just for personal notification but also for team notification. It seems that for now we can only connect to a project without much filter options.

            Notifying users in slack for mentions/assigns is probably the biggest thing to prompt wider Jira adoption/activity in my org.
