Extensions

All extensions are available for download from the Atlassian Marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1214651/rixter-a

To install an extension you need to have the Inbox for Jira pre-installed in your Jira instance

Configure extensions

Once an extension is installed its configuration interface will appear below the standard Inbox For Jira settings.

Go to the apps settings page

Click the Inbox for Jira settings in the menu on the left-hand side

Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the extension settings.

User settings:

Click the cogwheel on the right-hand side at the bottom of the notifications panel

Inbox: Slack

To use the Inbox: Slack extension you will need to set up a slack app to receive the data from the Inbox for Jira extension.

Setup Slack app

The Slack app allows incoming messages from Inbox for Jira to your Slack workspace. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up a Slack App. 

  • Log in to Slack, click "Create a custom app" or "Create a new app" from the Your apps dropdown.



  • Fill in the app details, ie. call it Inbox for Jira, choose your workspace

 


  • Go to the "App Home" section, add a bot user by clicking  "Edit"


  • Fill in the bot user  details, click "Add"


  •  Go to "OAuth & Permissions"


  • Add the Bot token scope: chat:write to allow the bot to post to chats

  • Install your app to your Slack workspace, click the "Install to workspace" button and grant access. 


  • From the OAuth & Permissions sections, copy your Bot User OAuth Token. This goes into the "Inbox for Jira" - admin settings.  



Configure Inbox:Slack, Inbox for Jira Extension settings

In the manage apps section, click the "Inbox for Jira" settings. 

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill in your Slack OAuth Token copied from above into the "Setup Slack authorization token" - field, click "Save"


Once the token is installed the Inbox: Slack Extension will post chat messages to all users that have their Slack member Id filled in. 

An admin can fill in a user member id by entering the Jira user id into the "User id" field, and the Slack Member Id into the "Member id" field and pressing save.  This could also be used to clear a member id for a user. Just leave "member id" field blank and press "save"

User settings

All users that wish to receive Slack notifications must fill in their Slack member id into the Inbox for Jira settings page. 

Find Slack member id:

  • Go to "view full profile" in your Slack app (or on the Slack web page)
  • Click the "more" button
  • Member id is in the popup menu. Note it down. 

Open Inbox for Jira settings

  • Click the cogwheel icon to open the user settings page (bottom right corner)
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page
  • Fill in the Slack member id, press save
