Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jira

Creating Discussion Channels

Link a Jira work item to a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel so your team can discuss it in context. Each work item can have one linked channel.

Create a channel

  1. From the work item, expand the Microsoft Teams section and select Create discussion channel

  2. Alternatively click the (more actions) menu, and select Microsoft Teams.

  3. Log in to Microsoft Teams if prompted.

  4. Select a Team and enter a channel name (pre-filled as <ISSUE KEY> discussion).

  5. Click Create channel.

Relevant people on the work item (assignee, reporter, watchers) are automatically @mentioned in the new channel's first message, since the bot can add itself but can't auto-invite members into a public channel it just created.

Return to an existing channel

Open the work item's Microsoft Teams glance panel in the sidebar - once a channel exists, it shows a single Open in Microsoft Teams button.

You can also say "Create a Teams discussion channel for this work item" to the Teams Connector Rovo Agent instead.
