Why this helps
A relationship between issues may be confirmed in Slack but remain invisible to people working in Jira.
- Make confirmed issue relationships visible in Jira.
- Reduce rediscovery of related work.
- Capture team context at the point of confirmation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for related issue confirmations.
- 3Tell Notis to link two Jira issues when a message referencing both receives the team's related-work reaction, using an appropriate configured link type.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and select the reaction if available.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with a message that names two related issues.
Questions about this workflow
