Connect Jira to Slack
Automate Jira and Slack with AI
Sprint boards in Jira do not surface in Slack unless someone screenshots them. Your Operator agent on OpenClaw ties Jira and Slack so transitions on a story, blockers, and new comments appear where the team already talks. Reply in a thread to log work, adjust story points, or move a ticket, and it writes Jira and confirms what changed.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to Slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external_id` and an `external_url` accessible by Slack.
How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Jira and Slack, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Jira, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Slack without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about Jira and Slack
- How do I connect Jira and Slack to Operator?
- You authorize Jira and Slack once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across Jira and Slack?
- You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right Jira and Slack actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
- Can my agent keep Jira and Slack in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Jira and act in Slack, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
