Overview

You can install Install Integration+ with just a few steps. The setup is a one-time process that lets your team start immediately. You must be a Jira admin to install.

InfoNot everyone is a Jira admin, so we get that. Contact your Jira admin and send them the information in this document to get them started

Organizations that have Slack Enterprise Grid have the option to deploy Enterprise-ready apps across their organization, instead of needing to install the app manually for each workspace. The steps below will work for org-wide or workspace-level installations. Just choose the Organization from the dropdown on the “Install Slack app” step.

To start the install, you will need to be a Jira admin. To install Org-wide, you will need an Enterprise Grid Org Admin. The process will give you an opportunity to select “I can't install Slack apps,” which will allow you to send a link to your Org Admin to install the Slack app if necessary.
