UPDATE - NOW AVAILABLE: Conversational ticketing in Jira Service Management

[#1]

The Early Access Program has now concluded. This functionality is now available. Learn more here.

------------------

TL;DR: Request early access below to try Jira Service Management’s new conversational ticketing feature in Slack.

Hey, Atlassian Community 👋

Today we’re excited to announce an Early Access Program for seamless conversational ticketing in Jira Service Management. Now you can meet your team where they already work to capture requests and manage tickets directly from your conversations in Slack. (Microsoft Teams coming soon)

Using the same Slack-native ticketing technology that powers Halp, Atlassian’s lightweight conversational help desk offering, you will now be able to sync Jira Service Management service projects with Slack to seamlessly:

• Capture Jira Service Management requests directly in Slack 

• Bi-directionally send and receive internal comments and public replies between Slack messages and Jira Service Management

• Edit ticket fields and transition tickets from your Slack conversations

Our new Jira Service Management chat offering is available to any paid Cloud users, set it up today.

We can’t wait to hear what you think!

This is super cool!  I'm very interested, let me see if I can swing an approval from some of our decision makers ;)

[Daniel Serodio]

Awesome! So if I understand correctly, this will be included in all of the existing JSM plans instead of being charged extra after it leaves beta, right?

[Daniel Raiha]

This is super exciting! Can't wait to try it out!

I saw a recent announcement around Halp being more integrated with Jira and I too am curious about this.  As someone who has been actively exploring Halp as a solution to our Slack & Jira ticketing problem I'm not sure if this means I should stop and wait till this goes out of EA or what.

[Morgan Watts]

Couldn't agree more with AP...i'll enable this, and it'll be interesting to see the difference with this and Halp...

[Nicole Pitaro]

@Daniel Serodio This will be included free in all JSM Cloud paid plans!

[Jensen Fleming]

@AP --You're welcome to keep exploring Halp, but we recommend signing up for the EAP to see if that solves your use case on its own 🎉

[Josh Costella]

We signed up! Can't wait to try it out. 

[Jason Donati]

Looking forward to MS Teams compatibility

[marvin.edelkamp]

We are excited for the Microsoft Teams feature!

🎶  Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it 🎶

Is it safe to assume this means metrics from these Slack Jiras can be measured for reporting?  😬

[Jensen Fleming]

@Mike Lee yes! Issues created from within Slack will be included in your reporting! You can filter by "created via Atlassian Assist" as part of your reports as well.

So excited to see this integration more integrated. I am down for the beta please!! One of the things I want to see is approvals from the workflow in the slack channel that would be great.

[Joshua Kochelek]

It's happening!! 🎉

[Cronje van Heerden]

Please count me in.

[Jack Ingram]

Would love to see this integrated into Zoom Chat too. 

[Joao Zampa]

I've filled out the form to be part of the early access program, what is next?
How can we start testing it? Is it just start a trial on Halp? being part of the early access program would give us more trial time?

[Jesse Cross]

Zoom Chat Integration would be great

[Guy Thorsby]

This is great. Throwing my hat in the ring for Google Chat. We have integrated a notification bot but creating a ticket mid-conversation would be stellar! Thanks for sharing!

[Marv Gordon]

I'm curious, why Slack before Teams?  Isn't the Teams user base like 10x that of Slack???

[Patrick Ricciardi]

Looking forward to seeing how this will work and if it would be appropriate for us. We use Teams, so hopefully that beta will be open over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you.

[Jason Brison]

This is very exciting! Are there plans to include the Jira Service Management chat offering in your Data Center offerings as well?

[Molly Bronstein]

@Jason Brison Hi Jason! Unfortunately at this time, we don't have the Jira Service Management chat offering on our Data Center roadmap. However, our product team is exploring the possibility and it may be added in the future! 

[Patrick Beardmore]

Can you confirm that if we sign up for the beta that we'll still have an ability to toggle it off/on again if we find we're not quite ready to enable it for everyone yet?

[Doanielle Carmody]

@Molly Bronstein  it would be very beneficial for DC users.  Unfortunately, some of us cannot move to cloud for security reasons and more unfortunately, the way atlassian access is set up to where it can only manage an entire company instead of separate orgs/departments within a company presents a huge barrier to moving to cloud. I would really love for Atlassian to either make Cloud more accessible for orgs within an enterprise OR include the same features as cloud in the DC roadmap.
