1.Monitors new channel messages
Integrate Slack and team chat tools to capture message text and metadata to create incident context.
Create incident and follow-up issues from team channel
Automatically monitor new messages posted to a channel across Slack and Jira Software Cloud. Create and update issues when channel messages arrive, qualifying threads get posts, or attachments appearβso you can create incidents, link follow-ups, and post issue keys without manual triage.
How this automation accelerates incident coordination
When new messages get posted to a monitored Slack channel, manual triage can delay incident response. This automation filters qualifying records, creates incident and follow-up issues, and posts the new issue links backβso your team can act faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
