Integrate with Flock

Use Jira Service Management's Flock integration to forward Jira Service Management alert activity to Flock. Users are notified when alerts are created, acknowledged, assigned, and closed without leaving Flock.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created, closed, acknowledged or assigned in Jira Service Management, information is seen in Flock.

If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.

On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.Go to Edit settings on the integration configuration page.
Select Authenticate with a Flock account.
Paste the URL previously copied from Flock into Flock URL.
Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.
