How to receive notifications in Slack for changes in issues under one certain Epic?

[maria]

Hi! I connected to the project Slack integration. I need to receive the channel notifications about status changes/comments JUST for the issues under certain Epic. Not the Epic itself as an issue, but all the issues types  (Stories, Sub Tasks, etc.)  under this Epic.

I suppose I need to use JQL

This is not working:    

project = "Corporate IT" AND issuetype in (Epic) AND "Epic Name" = "Confluence User Projects 2017"
