Examples

Send a message to Slack when a ticket is created

To send a message to Slack when an issue is created, add a post-function on the create transition in Jira with the following code:

JSlackAttachment att1;
att1.pretext = "Optional text that appears above the attachment block";
att1.title = "This is an example of attachment ...";
att1.text = "*Bold* ~strike~ text";
att1.color = "#4286f4";
 
JSlackAttachment att2;
att2.title = "This is an example of attachment with code.";
att2.text = "`var i = 0; doSomethingWith(i);`";
att2.color = "#f45641";
 
JSlackMessage message;
message.channel = "C9S2LC24T";
message.text = "Test slack message with attachment...";
message.attachments = {att1, att2};
 
 
return sendIntegrationMessage("SLACK", message);
