Configuring Slack Integration for Daily Scrum for Jira

To integrate Daily Scrum for Jira with Slack and receive real-time updates in your Slack channel, you will need two things:

  1. Slack Channel
    This is the channel where all updates will be sent (e.g., #general, #dsm-updates, etc.).

  2. Slack Bot Token
    A bot token is required to authenticate and push updates into the selected Slack channel.

 

Steps to Setup a Slack Bot

1. Set Up Your Slack App

  1. Go to the Slack API Portal: https://api.slack.com/apps

  2. Click “Create New App”

    • Choose “From scratch” (select this if any custom requirement is there for this)or “From Manifest“ (suggested from manifest since its preconfigured )

    • Select the work space where you want to install the bot

  3. You can use the Already defined template for the same setup, names etc. can be configured as per requirement
