Showing Active Board summary once in Slack channel

[Bilal Najib]

Hi,

Is there a way where we can just show a summary from Jira in our Slack channel the summary of the Active Sprint Board to show the status of the tickets. The current integration sends the message to slack every time a ticket is created / updated which can be very annoying.

Thanks

Hi @Bilal Najib -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You could do this with an automation rule.  For example:

• trigger: scheduled rule, running once per day at the time you wish
• action: lookup issues with JQL such as:

sprint IN openSprints()

• action: send a Slack Message, perhaps something like:

Here are the issues in our sprint today:
{{#lookupIssues}}
<a href="{{url}}">{{key}} - {{summary}} - {{status.displayName}}</a>
{{/}}

To learn more about automation rules, please see this documentation and examples:

@Bill Sheboy - Can JQL be used for Jira Cloud, where do we enter this in SLACK as per the article below it only works on Jira Server.

I was suggesting to create an automation rule in Jira Cloud, using JQL to then push the message to Slack.  Not to pull the data from the Slack end.
