It's a great way to keep yourself updated on work progress, get a unified view of your notifications, and reduce the need for email notifications.

A Jira issue is associated with a group conversation on Workplace Chat. Each group conversation is identified with the Jira issue's information; key, priority, status, and summary. This helps you to easily identify what the group conversation is about.

If you reinstall the app, the bot will not reuse previous Workplace chats, and it will instead create new ones. |
Receiving notifications
To receive notifications on Workplace Chat, you will need to:

From this point onwards, you can now collaborate directly from inside Workplace Chat. Share your progress, comments, and work towards a resolution, as a team:
