Hello! How to upload tasks from Jira to Telegram messenger?

Question

Hello. Our company uses Telegram messenger for communication. We created our custom bot and want to connect it with Jira to upload task summaries, assignees, etc. from Jira tasks to our bot in Telegram. How can we do it? Which payment plan must we use, and do we need an exact number of employers?

Hi! I'm a developer of a popular Jira <> Telegram integration available on the Atlassian Marketplace. We offer a pre-built solution that is designed to:

* Get a list of tasks from Jira based on specific parameters or filters.

* Send notifications to Telegram about updates from Jira tasks, such as changes in status, comments, or assignments, and customize notifications as needed.

This can save you a lot of development and maintenance time, as the solution is ready to go out of the box.

Hi and Welcome,

you can setup an automation rule with a webrequest call to send data to your telegrambot using the telegram api.

POST https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage

The integration can be done with any Jira plan (Free, Standard, Premium, or Enterprise). However, the Free plan has limitations on the number of users and features.
The number of users you need depends on your team's size and how many people will be interacting with Jira.
