Assigning tickets to Jira users from the Slack ticket view
Note: You can message the bot directly, or in a channel that includes the bot.
- Click the "View" button on any ticket response message from the bot.
- Choose a Jira user to assign the ticket to.
Note: Notice that the bot responds indicating the ticket was reassigned properly.
Assign tickets from the bot's home tab
Note: You can access the Nextup Jira Integration+ bot from your Slack's app listing in the lower left corner of the application.
Next, click the bot's home tab, then the "Assign" button.
From here, you can search for one or more ticket values.
Next, you can assign all or some to specific Jira users.
Assigning tickets to Jira users from Slack with CLI
Note: You can message the bot directly, or in a channel that includes the bot.
The format of the command is as follows:
- The "assign" command
- The ticket number
- The user you are assigning the ticket to
Note: The bot will then respond with the following output to confirm your ticket was assigned.
Troubleshooting
If for some reason the assign feature is not working follow these steps to fix your issues.
User not found
All users need to authenticate to the Jira Integration+ bot. This establishes a connection for that user between Slack and Jira. This allows Slack to know about that Jira user.
You have two options:
- Use the email address of the user instead of the @ dialog in slack
- Ask the user to complete the auth process
Issue not found
If the issue is not found check to see if you can access the issue directly in JIRA to ensure the ticket id is correct. Also ensure that your user account has permission to see the issue.
