Hi, I want to know if there is a way or configuration to stop opening the Jira ticket preview in slack and just open my ticket in my browser?

I hate those previews because they are so slow and not showing all the information like in the web version. Also it's so annoying because they fail loading sometimes and just it's making me clicking more things instead of just clicking in my jira ticket link and opening in the web browser.

I already revoke my Jira - Slack integration and they are still working. I need to make them stop.

Hello there! 👋 Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Dealing with too many automatic link previews cluttering up your active Slack channels can definitely be a bit distracting. I completely understand why you'd want to streamline that view!

Yes, it is possible! You can manage or disable Jira link previews (unfurls) directly inside Slack using a simple command.

Step-by-Step Guide

To disable ticket previews for a specific Slack channel:

  1. Open the Slack channel where you want to disable the previews.
  2. Type and send the following command in the message box: /jira unfurl
  3. An interactive prompt will pop up. Select the option to turn off / disable automatic unfurling for that channel.

Tip: If you ever change your mind and want the previews back, simply run the /jira unfurl command again to re-enable them.

Important Notes & Best Practices

  • Channel-Specific: This setting applies on a per-channel basis. If you want to disable previews in multiple channels, you will need to run the command in each one individually.
  • Permissions: You must have permission to manage the Jira integration within that specific Slack channel to run integration commands.
  • Alternative Options: If you are looking for advanced control across the entire workspace or wish to customize notification triggers, check your integration settings via Apps > Jira Cloud in Slack, or explore dedicated Slack integration apps on the Atlassian Marketplace.
