Welcome to the step-by-step guide on how to set up and use the Jira Weekly Done Issues to Slack template. This template is designed to help you automatically post a summary of completed Jira tasks to a specific Slack thread every week. It fetches closed tickets from Jira with the status 'Done' and updated within the current week, then formats and sends the details to a Slack channel of your choice.
To get started with this template, simply click on "Start with this Template" on the Lazy platform.
Before you can use this template, you'll need to set up some environment secrets within the Lazy Builder. These secrets are necessary for the app to authenticate with Jira and Slack APIs. Here's what you need to do:
To ensure the template works correctly, you'll need to have access to both Jira and Slack. Here are the steps to set up the necessary integrations:
Once you have set up the environment secrets, you can use the Test button to deploy the app. The Lazy CLI will prompt you for any required user input. There are no additional user inputs required for this template outside of the environment secrets you've already set.
After deploying the app using the Test button, the Lazy platform will handle the rest. It will automatically post the weekly Jira updates to the specified Slack channel. You can check the Slack channel to see the messages posted by the app.
If you need to make any adjustments or check the status of the app, you can use the Lazy Builder interface to monitor and manage the app's behavior.
That's it! You've successfully set up the Jira Weekly Done Issues to Slack template. Your Slack channel will now receive weekly updates on Jira tickets that have been marked as 'Done'.
