Auto-Expand Jira Issues When Mentioned In Slack

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

What to know:

• 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.
