Chat Alerts for Jira

Post Jira changes to Google Chat spaces, filtered by project and JQL.

Chat Alerts for Jira sends new issues, status changes, assignments and comments from Jira Cloud to Google Chat. Each rule picks the projects, an optional JQL filter and the kinds of change, then posts to one Chat space. Messages about the same issue stay in one thread. It is built on Atlassian Forge and is coming to the Atlassian Marketplace.

Set it up

In Google Chat, open the space, then Apps and integrations, then Webhooks. Add a webhook and copy its URL.
In Jira, open Apps, then Chat Alerts for Jira. Add a rule, paste the URL and pick what to send.
Press Test. A short message shows up in the space when the rule is connected.

What it does not do

It does not send direct messages or change issues from Chat.
It needs a Google Workspace account with incoming webhooks allowed in Chat.
A JQL filter is checked as the app, so functions about the current user do not apply.

Your data

To build a message, the app reads the issue key, summary, status, assignee, type, project, resolution, the change and any comment text through Jira's API.
It stores only your rules and each webhook URL, inside Atlassian's Forge storage on your site. Webhook URLs are kept as secrets and shown masked. No issue content is stored.
Messages go to chat.googleapis.com and nowhere else. They name the person who made the change and the assignee.
When you remove the app from your site, it stops working there and can no longer read its rules or webhook URLs. Atlassian keeps a deleted copy for the retention period in its own data policy, then destroys it. If the app is installed again within 21 days, Atlassian can link it back to that copy on request.
