Overview

The Account Settings control what the bot is able to do and how it responds in Slack. The changes you make here are reflected across the entire workspace.

You can limit access to users who can change their account settings.

On this page:

General Settings

These settings are designed to allow certain functionalities to exist when using Jira Integration+.

  1. After you test, please turn off Test Mode so it no longer tells you about your personal actions unless you want to be notified.

  2. Jira Integration+ can listen to other tools like Zapier and Workflow Builder and respond when messages contain issue keys.

  3. Track issues that were created from Slack.

  4. Limit the ability for users to capture messages in a thread.

  5. Allow your users to create dedicated channels from within Slack.

  6. Once a Slack channel is created you can auto off auto-syncing.

Revoking JQL

The JIRA query language (JQL) allows for complex issue searches. This is how you can create queries in JIRA and then utilize them with Integration+. You can write JQL formatted messages directly in Slack, create them in JIRA, and copy the syntax into Slack.

  • Sometimes organizations with large Jira Instances don't want complex searches from Slack.

  • There is a chance the search could slow down your Jira if the JQL spans across many projects.

    • Learn how to search using JQL here.

Limiting Actions allowed with Jira Integration+

  • There are many actions that Jira Integration+ can do.

  • Allowing your users access to all settings will enhance their capabilities to level up their chat ops.

  • If, for any reason, you want to restrict certain actions, you can do so with these settings.

Jira Authorization

All users must authorize Jira Integration+ to utilize all the existing functionality. But in some cases, you can allow non-Jira users to type issue keys and the bot will respond to them. They still will not be able to take any action on the ticket but can see the status of the issue.

Blocked Projects

Some workspaces have projects that want to be restricted from Slack altogether. We have access to all projects that the initial configured users have, but we recommend configuring with a service account with access to all projects. In the case, you want to limit, use Blocked Projects.

  1. Only allow certain projects to be able to be accessed through Slack

  2. Block the projects that you do not want to access to Slack

Global Emoji Mapping

As an admin, you can configure emojis for all channels where the bot has been invited. This can be helpful if you want to use the same emoji for a specific project and issue type across multiple channels in Slack.

  1. Login to your account.

  2. Go to Settings under Integration+.

  3. Go to Slack Emoji Mappings.

  4. Choose your project and issue type.

  5. Select an emoji.

  6. Click the Save button.

  7. Scroll down and click the Save button on the settings page.

Make sure to invite the bot to the channel to use this feature.

Delete Slack Notification Emoji Mappings

Jira Integration+ sends notifications. If, by chance, you want to delete the notification quickly, you can globally set an emoji to delete that message.

Make sure to invite the bot to the channel to use this feature.
