Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Connect a new Slack workspace to your service project
If you don’t see Incident management tools in Settings or Communication preferences in the Incident management page in the project's settings, it means that Slack isn't available in your region yet.
Slack is a chat tool that you can connect to Jira Service Management so that your team can swarm on incidents. You can access Slack when dealing with an incident by selecting the ‘Create channel’ or ‘Open [#channel name]’ links in the communications section in the issue view of an incident
By connecting Slack workspaces to your service project you can create Slack channels for your incidents, add incident responders to your Slack channels, update incident priorities, take incident actions, and help your team step in faster during incidents.
