BeAForeigner vs Slack JIRA Integration Bot

BeAForeigner’s job board provides individuals wanting to live overseas a one stop shop for finding that special opportunity.

Without a plan, I moved to Mexico City after my mother passed away from blood cancer. I never heard of Mexico City nor even visited Mexico before. I just knew I had to escape to mourn. I'm going into my third year here and that's how BeAForeigner was started. All I kept hearing is, How do I move abroad? or I don't know where to start on finding a job overseas. I created BeAForeigner to fix that problem. Finding paid work is the first step! BeAForeigner’s job board provides individuals wanting to live overseas a one stop shop for finding that special opportunity.

Connect Slack to JIRA and get instant 2-way communication to save time and money

Nextup JIRA provides a bot that connects Slack with Atlassian JIRA. The bot listens to channels where it has been invited and automatically provides information from JIRA to supplement your Slack conversations. When tickets are mentioned the bot automatically calls JIRA and returns the ticket id, name, description, assignee, estimated time remaining and other key information. In addition, buttons are presented allowing users in the Slack channel to take action in JIRA directly from Slack.

The bot is being used by thousands of teams globally across a variety of industries to improve communication and reduce lost time due to context switching. The interconnected environment created with the bot allows resources to focus on the task at hand and provides managers the information they need to keep track of the agile process.

In the latest version the Nextup JIRA bot introduced features allowing custom searches and automated responses from the bot based on feedback from the user community of > 200,000 Slack users.

Alternative solutions provide a push methodology where information changes in JIRA and is pushed to a specific Slack channel. This requires an issue to change state or move to a specific condition to be show in Slack. With Nextup JIRA a pull methodology is utilized to ensure ticket information is provided in real time to add to existing conversations.
