Slack Connector is adding its own panel on every JIRA issue page, located at the right sidebar (Fig.1). By using this panel an authenticated user can:
Check if there was any conversation happening on other channels regarding this issue
This is done by searching Slack instance against the issue key and using the connected user's access token (check out Security and Privacy page for more info about access tokens). If user has access to any private channels, they will also be searched. |
In the Activity section at the bottom of issue page you can find new Slack tab (next to Comments). It lets you quickly join and participate in Slack discussion on dedicated issue channel. Check out Slack Channel Tab page for more information regarding this feature.
