or working constantly with the mobile phone in your hand? This feature will always keep you informed about your SLAs. |
You can set up the Notification Provider using four different options:
These are standard mail providers which send messages on a given email address about any changes regarding SLAs, or issues and projects.
Here we have two options:
- Jira Mail Provider, or
- Custom Mail Provider.
By clicking the Add button the right-hand side of the initial page, you start to create your Mail Notification Provider.
For the Jira Mail Provider, it is necessary to update the SMTP mail server.
In order to do so choose System > Mail > Outgointg Mail and enter requested infromation.
The image below shows the configuration of the Custom Mail Provider:
Slack
In order to be a member of an existing Slack workspace, you will have to join one first. In this notification provider, everything happens on a workspace which is a group of people using Slack together. For this reason it is best to add this notification app to your Slack channels and workspaces.
When creating a Slack provider, you have to decide if you want the notification to be sent by a user or by a bot. If the Username field will be completed and the As a user field will be marked false, the message will be sent by a bot with the name you have previously entered.
Hipchat
Hipchat is fully integrated with Jira services and acts similarly to Slack, the difference being that you have to start or join a group and specify to which room the message should be sent. What's important about thiis configuration, is to create your own integration with SLA Notifications in Hipchat. The authorization is based on your room ID and your token. This data can be accesed to when registering or checking Hipchat room details.
