Slack notifications on Forge apps after migration?

[Oksanа]

Hi all!

We’re migrating our Jira app to Forge. Can we integrate Slack to send notifications on specific app events? If yes, what’s the recommended Forge approach?

In Forge, listen for the Jira events you care about; for example, issue_created and workflow transitions. Use that handler to call Slack via an incoming webhook or bot at chat.postMessage. Store the Slack credentials as environment variables in Forge, and send a formatted message from your function whenever your conditions are met-no extra server needed.
