Different notification configuration for each Slack user

Question

Hey! We are using JIRA and Slack and just installed the jirabot. I configured the bot while thinking, that this configuration is only for me. Turned out, that it's a global notifiaction configuration.

Does anyone know a way how to set up a different notification configuration for each user? We have different users (product manager, engigneers, marketing persons etc.) so everyone has other needs.

I tried to set up the bot with my personal channel @lars but this did not work. Does anyone know a good solution? We are quite struggling with notification at all because email in JIRA is a mess and JIRA lacks a good notification stream.

Hey Joe! Thanks for the answer. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the JIRA email notification scheme. The bot configuration is something completely different :)

notification schemes are applied the project. You can setup each notification event for different roles within the project (I prefer roles because groups often cause problems with unintentional notifications/permissions). I'm not familiar with the bot, but I suspect it will be working with the base notification scheme as a base. You may want to add additional notification events to fine tune who will be notified for what events.
