Integrating Jira Software with Slack streamlines Jira ticket resolution and reduces the need to sift through documents and emails, making teamwork more efficient. The Jira and Slack integration facilitates easy setup, rich notifications, and slash commands for better project management and communication. Automatic Jira updates in Slack channels eliminate the need for constant status reports, allowing for focused work and relevant notifications based on issue type and priority.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Log into your Jira instance as an admin.
  2. Navigate to the settings for the Jira Space that you want to connect to Slack.
  3. Under "Users and Roles", select "Slack Integration"
  4. Select the Slack Workspace you want to connect to Jira (if you have more than one)
  5. Click "select your Slack account"


The above is for a Jira → Slack integration, using an integration provided by Atlassian. For the opposite direction (Slack → Jira), there is no Atlassian integration at this time.
