Add a reminder

Use a reminder to send matching Jira issues to Slack on selected days. For project metrics such as sprint health or epic progress, create a report.

In the browser

1. Open the Workspace and choose Reminder.
2. Select a project. Choose a template or pick issue groups such as overdue, blocked, stale, or unassigned. For a custom query, select Custom JQL and enter your filter.
3. Choose an Issue list or AI summary. AI instructions are optional and apply when AI summary is selected.
4. Choose delivery: a shared channel or DM, a private DM to each matched assignee, or both. Review people matches before using assignee DMs.
5. Select the days and time. Times use your Slack time zone when saved. For shared delivery, choose a destination; invite @Jira Reminders to a private channel first.
6. Select Preview with live data, then Send test to my DM if you want to check it in Slack.
7. Select Save schedule to activate it.

Saving schedules future delivery. It does not send to your team immediately. Use Send now on the saved schedule for immediate delivery.

In Slack

Open Jira Reminders → Home → Explore reminders, then choose a template or Create custom reminder. Set the project, issue groups, format, schedule, and destination. Select Preview reminder to check the results, then submit the form to save.

Personal work

The My daily work DM template includes your overdue and assigned issues. Connect your own Jira account and select your own DM as the destination. “My” groups refer to the schedule owner’s Jira account.

Keep updates useful

• Start with one project and a few issue groups.
• Enable Skip when there is nothing to report to keep quiet when no issues match.
• Name the schedule so you can find it later.
• Pause or edit it as your team’s needs change.
