Automatically create Slack Channel with new tickets

[Mario Licup]

Hello!

I was hoping someone could help me figure out away to automate the creation of Slack channels when a new ticket is created.

We have a JIRA project that is used for high priority incidents and I want a Slack channel to be created when the ticket is created/opened. This way we as a company can keep discussion in one channel so those details can later be easily found for postmortem activites.

Currently we have the ticket that gets created automatically when ever a PagerDuty incident is triggered. From there we manually create the Slack channel and notify our teams to join that channel.

also interested in this.
I thought it is possible to create slack channels with webhook and Jira automation.

Opsgenie is not possible for our use case.

Any other options, without using zapier.

Any updates on this? Was there any progress on this feature?

Hi Mario, welcome to the Community!

I definitely understand the use-case and the need to get a channel running as fast as possible per-incident. With the official Jira Cloud for Slack app, we don't have the functionality to create a channel (either automatically or manually at the moment) but we do have a feature request open with that suggestion.

Completely within the Atlassian stack, the OpsGenie integration with Slack can create a new channel per incident. I've seen teams do similar things with PagerDuty, although in my experience it's all been custom-code and I haven't seen something productized for easy deployment in other organizations. I'll have a look around though and be sure to update this answer if I see something that's easy to deploy with the toolset you're using!

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, thanks for the reply. I had a feeling there was a limitation regarding the creation of slack channels. Our company is looking to utilize OpsGenie in the near future. Thanks.
