Question about jira-slack integration

[Stefannie Tan]

If you integrate slack and jira on a jira project level, then does it follow that all boards created under the project would be integrated?

I created a new board under the same project. Do I need to set up a separate slack connection for that?

Hi @Stefannie Tan

When you integrate Slack with Jira at the project level, typically, the integration applies to the entire project, including all boards, issues, and activities associated with that project. This means that if you create a new board under the same Jira project, it should automatically be included in the existing Slack integration, assuming the integration was set up to cover all aspects of the project.

However, the extent of the integration can depend on how it was configured. Some key points to consider:

1. Integration Scope: Check if the integration was set up to include all boards or if it was limited to specific boards or types of activities within the project.

2. Notification Settings: Different boards may have different notification settings. Ensure that the new board is configured to send the desired notifications to Slack.

3. Permissions and Access: Make sure that the Slack integration has the necessary permissions to access the new board, especially if the board has different permission settings than the rest of the project.

4. Custom Configuration: If your integration was custom-configured or uses specific add-ons or plugins, you might need to adjust settings for the new board to be included.

In most cases, you wouldn't need to set up a separate Slack connection for a new board within the same project. However, it's always a good idea to test the integration after creating a new board to ensure it's working as expected. If you find that notifications or updates for the new board are not appearing in Slack as intended, you may need to review and adjust the integration settings.

Hi @Stefannie Tan 

if you integrate Jira and slack then you need to configure  a url and project name in the slack then you will get notifications about that project from the slack.

I created a new board under the same project. Do I need to set up a separate slack connection for that?  No need to create connection 

If you integrate slack and jira on a jira project level, then does it follow that all boards created under the project would be integrated? yes it will follow project level wise
