Can I auto create channel on slack upon creating project on Jira?

Question

One of my major activities in the project management is to create slack channel for each newly created project so I am looking for a way to integrate Jira with Slack to auto create channel on slack upon creating a project on Jira.

Is this possible?

Hi,

You can use Actioner, a low-code app builder platform, to create a dedicated channel for each newly created project.

Check out Actioner's Jira app  and what it can do.

You can customize the built-in app to do what you need and make your own Jira app.

Ask me anything if you need help.

Best,
Tugba

Hi there,

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, at the moment is not possible to have this automation.

I definitely understand the use-case and the need to get a channel running as fast as possible per project. With the official Jira Cloud for Slack app, they don't have the functionality to create a channel automatically when a new project is created.

However, they do have a feature request open with a similar suggestion that I strongly recommend to vote and comment your use case there.

Hope it helps.

Have a great day!

Cheers,

Carlos
