Overview

One of the easiest ways to prevent context switching is increasing awareness by automatically expanding Jira issues when they are mentioned in Slack.

• You need to invite the bot to your channel to use this feature.

• You can configure if the bot responds as a message in the channel or a threaded reply.

• New users will be asked to connect their Slack and Jira accounts to view issue details.
