Jira Slack Automation

[Vanessa]

Hello Community,

I wanted to create an automation that is supposed to do the following:
If an issue is moved to Code Review, a Slack message will be send to the team channel. Ideally, the issue name should be posted in the Slack message.

So far I have got:

The trigger event works, Slack message is also sent, just with no issue information.

How do I add, that the last issue moved to the Code Review column will be looked up to add that to the Slack message?

Thank you already for the help!

Have a nice weekend,

Vanessa

Hi @Vanessa ,

Good news, this Automation rule can be simplified! Since you're using the Issue Transitioned trigger, it already knows which issue to get the details from. So, based on the screenshot, you'd make these changes to the rule:

1. Remove the "Then: Lookup issues" action
2. Modify the "Send Slack message" action to take out the issue lookup. I've included the code that will also make a nice link to the issue in Slack too:
   

   Hey there, a new issue is in Code Review, have a look!
   <{{issue.toUrl}}|*{{issue.key}}*  {{issue.summary}}>

And that's all!

Cheers,
Daniel
