Receive Direct Message Notifications

Want Jira updates sliding right into your Discord DMs? You got it! 🎯 Personal notifications let you stay on top of mentions, issue updates, and other important events without digging through busy channels.

📬 What exactly are Personal Notifications?

When enabled, you’ll receive direct messages from Jiri bot whenever:

  • Someone mentions you directly in a Jira issue or comment.
  • An issue you’re watching gets updated (status changes, comments added - you name it).

💡 Quick note: Jiri is considerate - it won’t spam you with notifications for your own actions. You’re welcome.

đź”— Step 1: Connect Your Discord Account
