Slack integration with JIRA Server - show me ticket details

[Mark Haller]

Hi there

I can see Slack and JIRA integrations have been discussed quite a bit and there are numerous integrations that can do all sorts of notifications and ticket creations automatically and many other things.

My needs are simple - I've got JIRA Server.  We all use Slack at work.  When a ticket reference is typed in a message in Slack, I want the summary details and link to the ticket to be added in Slack.

I've seen this - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216863/jira-cloud-for-slack-official?hosting=cloud&tab=overview but it's only Cloud.  And I'm not seeing a Server version.

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Update

Earlier this year, Atlassian shipped an official Slack connector for Jira Server. Check it out here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220099/jira-server-for-slack-official?hosting=server&tab=overview

Hi Mark,

At present we don't have an officially supported Server -> Slack integration.

I am aware of at least one third-party built solution that can provide a summary when an issue key is mentioned in Slack. It's a bot that listens to your Slack channels and also needs access to your Jira server. The bot runs as a docker container. You can deploy it locally (best if your Jira Server is behind a firewall) or in AWS or another Cloud host (Heroku, etc) if you don't want to maintain it on local infrastructure.

Have a peek at it here:

Hey Daniel

That's a shame.   I'm assuming there's quite a demand for it.

Great - I know Tom at Meanbee.  Didn't realise they had done this!  Got my sys admins booked to get it set up. Thank you!
