Flagged ticket - Create Slack notification?

Question

Hi,

We are using the flag function on the Jira ticket to highlight blockers. We would like for using the flag function to trigger a message in Slack. This would help us bring all blocked tickets into easy to view location.

Has anyone used Jira/Slack in this or a similar way?

Is there native functionality in Jira already for this? Something like a dashboard that will show all flagged (blocked) tickets?

Thank you for your time

Hello, Good day. Automation rule similar to following will help.

Hi @Mark Dallas - You can use automation to send a slack message when an issue is flagged.  It would work something like this:

* TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (Flagged)
* CONDITION* Flagged
Equals
Impediment

* ACTION: Send Slack Message

As for viewing all flagged issues... You could create a dashboard and use the Filter Results Gadget to display a simple list of all currently flagged issues using a filter based upon the following JQL:

Flagged = Impediment
