Automatic linking

About

Automatic issue linking is the process that helps you share information between Microsoft Teams and Jira. If you share a Jira issue in Microsoft Teams, our Smart Connect bot will detect this and link the conversation to this issue automatically. To try this, you can share an issue to any channel where the bot is installed and simply mention the issue key. Afterwards, the bot will post a reply, saying the issue has been linked. From now on, all replies will automatically be visible in Jira.

Options

Never link: Even if the issue key is referenced in a Microsoft Teams channel conversation, the issue will not be linked to the Jira issue.
Ask for linking: Whenever an issue key is referenced in a Microsoft Teams channel conversation, our Smart Connect bot will initially ask whether the issue should be linked to the conversation.
Always link: Whenever an issue key is referenced in a Microsoft Teams channel conversation, our Smart Connect bot will automatically create a link to the corresponding issue within this conversation.

Card designer

Please note:
This setting can only be changed by the Jira admin and applies for all Jira projects (globally).
