I've got the Slack integration working, and I've created a notification and have it working so that it sends a message to a Slack channel. However, what I want to do is @mention a specific Slack user group so that people in that group (but not everyone in the channel) receive an alert when JIRA sends a message to the channel.
This is the basic message format for what I'm sending:
{
"text":"<eventType> <issueKeyLink> in <projectLink> created by <userLink>"
}
That works just fine. Here's the output from Slack:
New issue created ITENG-918 in IT Engineering created by Tony Reynolds
But when I try to add an @mention to the format, like so:
{
"text":"<@iteng-team> <eventType> <issueKeyLink> in <projectLink> created by <userLink>"
}
Then it complete mangles the output, and looks like this in Slack:
@iteng-team <eventType> <issueKeyLink> in <projectLink> created by <userLink>
BTW, the @mention doesn't work in Slack when I do that, even though it displays the text. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help out? Thanks!
