Send Slack Message with Checklist Progress

This rule sends a Slack message showing the checklist progress whenever the checklist is updated.

Limitations

If you are using Checklist for Jira ENTERPRISE , note that this rule will not respond to nor reflect changes in items in Global Checklists. The rule is triggered by changes in the Checklist Text custom field. Global Checklists are not saved to the custom field and therefore cannot be referenced by the automation rule.

Notes

1. Navigate to Project settings > Fields.

2. Click Add field.

3. Select the Checklist Completed.

4. Click Add 1 field.
