CHARLES MAXSON: Hi, there.
I'm Charles Maxson and I'm a Developer Advocate
for Google Workspace.
In this video, I'll walk you through setting up
Jira for Google Chat and cover some of its key features
to help you start using it like a pro.
Before you begin, here are some of the things
you'll need to get started.
You'll need permission from your Google Workspace administrator
to install apps for Google Workspace Chat.
You'll also need admin privileges
or the help of an admin to install the Google Chat plugin
from the Atlassian Marketplace.
In this video, you'll learn how to install
Jira for Google Chat and the Google Chat Jira plugin
from the Atlassian Marketplace.
You'll learn how to configure the Jira Chat
app, how to use some of its key features,
and explore the Help feature to learn more about what else
the app can do.
So let's get started.
First, let's add Jira for Google Chat to a space in Google Chat.
You can do this from any chat space
once the Jira for Google Chat app
has been allowed access by your Workspace administrator.
Simply at mention Jira and then click Add to Space.
Now you're ready to kick off the initial setup process.
Start the setup by entering the slash command--
/jira_connect-- and follow the three required steps.
First, you'll need to get your Jira instance URL.
Then install the Google Chat plugin in Jira.
And then, finally, connect Google Chat to Jira.
Let's start with step 1.
Simply go to an open instance of your Jira site
and copy the URL from your browser.
Then paste it in at the bottom of the dialog here
to complete step 1.
When you're done, select Go to step 2.
Next, you'll install the Google Chat plugin in Jira.
Click Open to launch the Atlassian Marketplace.
And then select Get it now to start the install.
Select the site to install it on.
And click Install App to kick off the process.
Now choose Get it now to complete the install.
You'll see a notification in Jira confirming success
once it's been added to Jira.
Now let's go back to Google Chat and run the plugin check
to confirm that it worked correctly.
And with that successfully installed,
let's go on to step 3, where you will finalize the connection.
Simply select Connect.
And you are set up and ready to go.
But before exiting the setup process,
you can configure the notification settings
that Jira for Chat will receive from Jira.
Here you can customize which projects
and events you'd like notifications for.
Once you save these, you will get
a confirmation of the notification preferences
you just selected.
Just close that window.
And now we get a message that the installation and setup
is complete.
So let's close it out.
Let's see how notifications work between Jira and Google Chat.
First in Jira, let's create a new issue.
And now over in Google Chat, we see a notification letting
us know about that new issue and a number of key details
specific to it.
Next, let's change the status of that same new issue
back over in Jira.
And note this time, we get another notification
in Google Chat letting us know the details of that status
change.
Switching that around, let's now create a Jira issue
from within Google Chat.
Type /jira_create to kick off the flow for creating a new
issue.
Select the project, an issue type,
and then add the required issue summary and a description.
Finally, let's scroll down and assign this issue
to a set of users.
That's all we need to do.
So now select Create.
And we've created a new Jira issue from Google Chat.
Jira for Chat supports link previews.
Let's see how those work.
I'll paste in a link to a Jira issue in Google Chat.
And I'll share it with my team.
With no other steps required by me,
Chat responds with the details of that issue from Jira
so everyone on the team has more information about it instantly.
And if they like, they can open it directly in Jira
from this preview to take further action immediately.
Finally, if you want to learn other things that the Jira
for Chat app can do, enter /jira_help to get a listing
of additional features the app offers.
That wraps up this short how-to video
for setting up and using some of the key features of Jira
for Google Chat.
Stay tuned for other how-to videos of your favorite tools
that integrate with Google Workspace.
