Slack Automation - Due Date

Question

Hey Team,

I was wondering if there is a way to create an automation in Jira to send a Slack message to the assignee when the due date of a task is coming, like two days prior to the due that. Is it possible?

Thanks

Hi @Andre Menezes

Yes, and...You would need the Slack id to do that.  Those ids are not stored in Jira, so please see this post for ideas for how to address this:
