Global Setup

Global Setup

You can access Slack Connector global setup (Fig.3, 4, 5) by clicking Configure or Get Started button in Universal Plugin Manager, under Manage Add-ons section (Fig.1). The same result you can get by using Slack Connector Setup link at very bottom of the Jira's Administration -> Sytem page. (Fig.2). By using Slack Connector's global setup page you can:

  • Select default slack channel for all notifications coming from entire Jira instance. This will affect all issues from all projects

  • Configure threading options to organize notifications by issue, project, or in a single thread

  • Overwiew the list of all dedicated project and issue channels, change their configuration or remove them

  • See the list of all Jira users who has connected their accounts with Slack

  • Install Slack bot which allows you to perform various Jira actions directly from Slack

Threading Configuration

On the global setup page, you can enable threading for instance-level notifications:

  • Check "Enable threading" to activate the feature

  • Choose your threading mode:
    - Group notifications by issue - Each issue gets its own thread
    Group notifications by project - Each project gets its own thread
    - Use single thread for all notifications - All notifications in one thread

Threading helps keep your Slack channels organized and makes it easier to follow specific issues or projects.
