Overview

Install Integration+ with just a few steps. The setup is a one-time process that lets your team start immediately.

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.

  • Each Slack workspace can connect to only one Jira instance.

  • A single Jira instance can connect to multiple Slack workspaces or organizations.

  • The account that establishes the Jira connection will become the Main authorized user. This account’s Jira permissions determine the integration’s access across organizations and workspaces. We typically recommend using a Service Account. This account can be changed at any time from the Account Portal.

  • The installer must have Slack permissions to add an integration to the workspace or organization.
