Get started with Jira Reminders

Bring Jira reminders, progress reports, and personal follow-ups into Slack. Create schedules in the browser or in Slack; both use the same saved settings.

1. Connect Slack and Jira

1. Add Jira Reminders to Slack.
2. Open Jira Reminders in Slack and select Connect Jira.
3. Authorize your Jira Cloud account. The app uses it to read projects and issues.

For personal “My work” reminders, connect your own Jira account so the results refer to you.

2. Preview your first update

Open the Workspace and sign in with Slack.

• Choose Report for sprint health, epic progress, standups, releases, workload, or other project metrics.
• Choose Reminder for groups of issues such as overdue, blocked, stale, or unassigned work. Templates provide a starting point; custom JQL gives you more control.
• Select a project and press Preview with live data.
• Switch between Web preview and Slack message, then use Send test to my DM to check the result privately in Slack.

Previews and test DMs do not create a schedule or post to your team.

3. Choose delivery and save

Select days, a time, and a Slack channel or your own DM. For private channels, invite @Jira Reminders first.

Reminders can also DM each assignee with only their own issues, or send both a channel digest and personal DMs. Review people matches before enabling personal nudges.

Press Save schedule to activate it. Your schedule also appears on the app Home tab in Slack.

Manage your schedules

Use Edit, Send now, Pause/Resume, or Delete in Workspace. On the app Home tab, select Manage schedules, then use a schedule’s ⋯ menu to edit, send, pause, or delete it. Deleting requires confirmation.

Changes apply to future runs. Pausing keeps your settings so you can resume later. Deleting a schedule does not remove messages already posted to Slack.

Find features in the Slack Home tab

The overview has three entry points: Explore reminders, Explore reports, and Open my work. Each opens a focused Home screen with an ← Overview breadcrumb.

• Reminders lists templates and a custom reminder option, including personal assignee DMs.
• Reports lists all nine reports with a short description and Set up report button.
• My work & follow-ups sends your work by DM, creates one-time reminders, and lists upcoming follow-ups.
• Manage schedules lists your reminders and reports in pages of ten, with All/Reminders/Reports filters.
• Settings & help contains link previews, chart settings, people matching, connections, billing, documentation, and support.

Settings and schedule actions keep the current Home screen. Reopening Home starts at the overview. Open Workspace provides browser editing and test DMs.
