How to receive notifications in Slack for changes in issues under one certain Epic?

[maria]

Hi! I connected to the project Slack integration. I need to receive the channel notifications about status changes/comments JUST for the issues under certain Epic. Not the Epic itself as an issue, but all the issues types  (Stories, Sub Tasks, etc.)  under this Epic.

I suppose I need to use JQL

This is not working:    

project = "Corporate IT" AND issuetype in (Epic) AND "Epic Name" = "Confluence User Projects 2017"

Hi @[deleted],

I recently designed a new app for Jira-Slack integration on Actioner. You can check it out here.

For now, it only allows you to link your Slack channels to Jira projects. However, you can customize it to solve your problem by following these steps: 

       1- Sign up for Actioner and install the Jira app from the directory.

       2- Connect your Jira and Slack accounts.

       3- Go to "Select Channel for Projects" action and add a new input field as "epic".

       4- To retrieve epics in your project, create a new request as "GetEpics" and use               the endpoint here with jql = issuetype = "Epic" .

       5- Run the action to link your epic to the channel.

       6- Finally, customize the other actions to retrieve issues that belong to the                       selected epic. Be sure to change the project fields to "epics." 

I hope you find this useful. Please contact me in case you need assistance. I’ll be happy to help.
