Building Teams Command Bot with Full Board Access

[Wes Thompson]

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to create a Teams command bot that could grab all the issues on the active board and list their assignees and current status. From docs it seems like I would have to authenticate using OAuth but then every user would have to allow permission right? If one person can see the whole board, would they be able to give permission to get all the info I need?

Basically, I want to be able to type a command in the Teams chat and have it collect data on all issues in the active board for a certain project. If I can normally see all the issues and assignees when I log into JIRA, would I be able to get that info through the API if I were the only one who had gone through the OAuth process?

There is a free Microsoft Teams app for Jira Cloud that offers similar functionality. However, you may need to request your Microsoft 365 Administrator to approve the app for use within your organization.

With this app, you can integrate your Jira board directly into a Microsoft Teams channel, allowing you to view, create, and edit issues without leaving Teams.

For a step-by-step guide on how to install and configure the app, you can refer to this video:

Thank you for the reply. It doesn't look like the app has quite the filter options I was looking for and doesn't display into the channel like I'm hoping. I was looking for a pretty specific use case where the bot would link all the current open issues in the active sprint with a specific component tag. It looks like that free app uses OAuth to sign in and gives you access to everything you can see normally in JIRA which was basically my question. So, I think this indirectly answered my question. Thanks!
