Slack integration: batch update

[Yana Harris]

How can o configure my Slack integration so that It sends batch updates once a week only but not every time an individual issue is experiencing a change?

(Someone might need to correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't believe there is a way to limit the pushes from the Slack integration, as that fires as soon as the conditions you have set up match. It won't wait to push them all as one batch.

What you could look into is using Automation to send a Slack message with all issue that fits your criteria, on a scheduled basis.

For example: I've set up a scheduled automation that runs at 8:50 am every weekday in my teams slack channel with all issues added to our backlog within the last 24 hours.

When: Scheduled Mon-Fri 8:50 am

Then: Lookup issues <insert JQL that fits>

If: Compare two values {{lookupIssue}s} does not equal empty (only necessary if there might be days when nothing is added)

Then: Send Slack message

Hi! There are *{{lookupIssues.size}}* new issues added to the backlog since the last standup:
----------------
{{#lookupIssues.reverse}}
<{{url}}|{{key}} - {{Summary}}> [{{issueType.Name}}]
{{/}}
