Possible to post updates from an epic and its children to specific slack channel?

[Michael Hsu]

One of our Jira projects is organized like this:

* Epic X

       * Task 1

       * Task 2

       * Task 3

* Epic Y

       * Task 1

       * Task 2

       * Task 3

I'd like status changes to the tasks for each epic to be posted to the Epic-specific Slack channels. For example:

* Changes to status updates for Epic X's tasks 1-3 should be posted to Channel X

* Changes to status updates for Epic Y's tasks 1-3 should be posted to Channel Y

However, under the "slack integration" tab under our project, I can't figure out how to do this. I can get updates to the Epic itself (but not its child tasks) posted to a specific channel, but I can't get it to work for child tasks under a specific epic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Michael Hsu ,

I think for the filter query you need to use:

"Epic Link" = EPIC-ISSUE-KEY AND type = Task

(Epic Link instead of Epic Name)

@Hana Kučerová This is exactly what I need. It works great. Thank you!
