Connect Slack channel to Epic via Automation

Cam_ygfsoh

Hi all - I have a very helpful automation setup with Slack and Jira, where when we import/create a new project (Epic + Child issues).

Upon Epic creation that matches conditions, it sends a webhook payload to the slack app, which then triggers a workflow inside slack that will Create a New Channel, with the Epic Name (modified). 

 

I am wondering if I can somehow connect the Channel that was created to the Epic that triggered its creation? It seems simple enough, but I am a bit stuck... Here is the screenshot of where you can do this MANUALLY...

Hi @Cam , there's no action in Automation to connect the Jira issue to a Slack channel to receive notifications from a certain Jira issue, this could be done potentially using API, this post here "https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Connecting-Jira-and-Slack-in-a-way-that-Jira-ticket-updates-can/qaq-p/2572883" could be related to this
