Slack limit to specific projects

Question

Hello,

Within our company we have a lot of debate about enabling or disabling the Jira plugin inside slack. (50% likes it, 50% hates it).

To solve this we would like to enable it only for specific projects within Jira. As now it seems it automatically connects to all projects within the environment. Is selecting projects something that is or could be possible?

Thanks.

I've tested and it seems that while you can disable the messaging per channel the previews (when you post a link to jira) keep coming. There doesnt seem to be a way to disable the previews on a per channel/per project basis.

Thanks for your quick response.

It could be the case that someone connected all projects. I will check with our jira administrator to see if there's anything in the jira admin console to manage this.

Hi @Stef Kampen

Seems the configuration is per project as stated here:

Connect a Slack channel to a Jira Project

Once you've added the Jira Cloud app to your Slack workspace, you can set up a Jira Cloud project to send notifications into a Slack channel a couple of different ways.

Invite the bot to a channel

Any time you invite the Jira Cloud bot into a Slack channel, the bot will give you the ability to quickly create a connection between that channel and a project:

If your Atlassian account is connected to multiple Jira Cloud sites, select the site and then the project that you want to connect to the channel. Once you’ve established this connection, you’ll get a confirmation sent to the channel.

Type /jira connect

In public and private channels, you can type /jira connect to quickly set up a connection between Jira Cloud and Slack.

Most probably someone connected all projects. Cant see a connect all setting in the app.
