Slack Integration

Get notified in Slack about upcoming planning poker sessions, retrospectives, and daily standups. No more missing important meetings—notifications keep everyone in the loop.

Each team member’s standup responses are sent straight to the selected Slack channels, making it easy for everyone to stay informed, track progress, and address blockers quickly.

Here’s how it works:

Before you begin

• Only the Jira admin and project admin can perform this action for their teams.

• If you’re a Slack workspace owner or admin, installing the AgileBox app for Slack makes it available to everyone in your workspace.

• If you’re not a Slack owner or admin, you can install the AgileBox app for Slack just for yourself, unless your company or workspace has restrictions on app installations.
