Notifications with Jira Work Management

Question

Hi, looking into moving from Trello to JIRA work management for our Ops Team. Currently our team uses JIRA Software heavily. I get notifications when I am assigned tasks from JIRA software, but when I assign them in JWM I am not receiving the same notifications. (Slack and Email). How would I achieve this?

Hey @Stacie Hescock,
We recently introduced a new Slack Jira integration in Actioner, let me share its link for you to check it out: https://actioner.com/app-directory/jira/10
You can install this app and start using it with connecting multiple Jira and Jira Work management projects. In case your project contains custom fields, it is also possible to customize the Slack notifications accordingly.
This being said, it would only help with Slack notifications, since email notifications are tied to Jira settings, but I believe the Slack notifications would be sufficient.
In case you're interested, please ping me. We would be happy to help and further understand your use-cases and help you with tailoring such an app accordingly.
Cheers,Aysun from Actioner

Notifications are handled differently between Company Managed and Team Managed projects.

For Company Managed project Notifications Schemes are used. Those can be modified only by the Jira Administrators. However if the Jira Administrators have set up the Notifications to be sent to people based on Project Roles, then Project Administrators can modify who is assigned to the Project Role and that will impact who receives the notifications.

For Team Managed projects the Notifications are configured per project and can be modified by the Project Administrator.

I have not worked with sending notifications from Jira to Slack. I'm not sure it that is rooted in the Notification settings in Jira or not. If it is, then see above. Also see this Atlassian video on enabling personal notifications in Slack.
