Jira add-on alert dialog

[Jesús Jorge Muñoz]

Hello everyone,

I am currently developing a Jira Cloud add-on, and I have a requirement I don't see how can I implement it.

The add-on should be listening to certain webhooks. When one of this webhook is received, the add-on should alert a certain user that the event related to the webhook has happened.

A first approach was sending mail notifications, but my team receives a lot of mail notifications, and I am afraid that these ones could be ignored because of that.

I was thinking about setting user properties, which would contain a report as the property body informing about the triggered event. An add-on general page would list these reports.

This approach could work for us, but we need to tell the user when he/she has new unread notifications, because if we don't, the responsability of visiting this page falls into the users, and we don't want that.

So I was thinking how can I show some alert dialog to the user whenever he/she logs in.

Any ideas on how can this be achieved?

Thanks in advance.
