Create Slack channel from Jira automatically

[Oleksii Shpyta]

How to organize the following process:
So that when creating an epic in the Jira, a channel in Slack is automatically created for each epic

Hello, 

I was able to accomplish this. 

You will need to create a Slack App  - with proper permissions & that utilizes a webhook. 

Build your automation rule inside Jira with the trigger and conditions > when triggered > "Send Slack Message / Web request" > Setup your payload etc... 

Then you will utilize Slack Workflows: 

1. Starts with Webhook Event (Same webhook event you have in Jira and payload) 

2. I used the payload in the webhook, with some modification, to name the channel 

3. You can then add user groups etc... via the slack workflow. 

Hope this helps you

Hi, I'm no expert on Jira's Automation, but it looks you can create a rule to do that. 

I would try something like

1. Trigger: on issue creation
2. condition: issue type as Epic,
3. action: send web request to Slack's api for creating a channel

You could even take the epic's summary key and/or text and pass them to the call, to set the channel's name and description.

Not sure, but you might need also need a paid Slack subscription.

Hope this sets you in the right direction.
