Use Jira with Slack and bridge the discussion to every chat platform
Jira's own Slack app posts the notifications. SyncRivo bridges the people discussing them across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Webex and Zoom Team Chat.
What is the Jira and Slack Integration?
For Slack Jira integration support workflows, Jira's own Slack app is what posts issue notifications into Slack. SyncRivo does not integrate with Jira. Its role is bridging the human conversation: people on Slack and on other chat platforms (Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Webex, Zoom) can discuss the same issues in one bridged channel. Messages posted by bots and apps, including Jira notifications, are not relayed.
The manual workflow costs you more than you think
Your team receives Jira issue notifications in Slack through Jira's own Slack app, but colleagues and partners work on other chat platforms. SyncRivo does not connect to Jira; it bridges the human conversation in that Slack channel to Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Webex or Zoom Team Chat so everyone can respond in one thread.
Common bridging scenarios
Common Jira and Slack bridging scenarios
Set up Jira's native Slack app
Jira's own Slack integration posts issue notifications into the channels you choose. Check Atlassian's documentation for current setup steps.
Bridge the Slack channel to Microsoft Teams and other platforms
Link the channel where your team discusses issues and sprints to channels on Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Webex or Zoom Team Chat, so everyone replies in one conversation.
Keep threads, edits and files in sync
Replies stay threaded, edits and deletes are applied in place, and files people share are relayed between platforms.
Include partner organizations
Partner connections (cross-organization bridges) bring a partner's chat platform into the discussion once both organizations' admins accept.
How SyncRivo connects Jira and Slack
Jira posts through its own Slack app; SyncRivo bridges the conversation across chat platforms
Connect both platforms
Install Jira's own Slack app so Jira notifications post into your Slack channel. SyncRivo does not connect to Jira.
Map your channels
Bridge that Slack channel to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Webex, or Zoom with SyncRivo, once your chat admins approve the SyncRivo app.
Messages flow both ways
Human replies and threads sync both ways between the bridged channels, typically within seconds. Messages posted by bots and apps are not relayed.
Built for enterprise security requirements
Designed for security reviews: TLS in transit, encrypted OAuth tokens, and a BAA available for Enterprise
OAuth2 per connection
Each platform connection uses independent OAuth2 tokens. Revoking one never affects others.
Per-organization separation
Your bridged chat data is scoped to your organization — never shared with other customers.
No message content storage
Message content is not stored on the normal relay path — only message IDs are kept to sync threads, edits and reactions. An optional retry queue holds undelivered messages temporarily.
Role-based access
Owner, admin, and member roles control who can manage bridges and settings.
Activity log
Activity log and security event history, exportable as JSON.
Webhook signature verification
Incoming chat-platform webhooks are signature-verified on all five platforms — no spoofed events accepted.
