JIRA automation rule that sends Slack message with a slash command

[Celena Chang]

How can I create a Jira automation rule that sends a Slack message containing a slash command. For example, I want the rule to send a Slack message like:

/poll "title of poll" "option 1" "option 2"

so that a Simple Poll is created. However, it just sends a Slack message with exactly that text "/poll ..." (it doesn't transform the slash command into an actual Simple Poll)

Hi @Celena Chang -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is an open suggestion to support sending commands from automation to Slack here:
https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1320

In that suggestion is a note about using the Slack API to send commands...As a work-around, have you considered calling a web request and the REST API function from the rule to send the poll and see if that works?

Best regards,
Bill
