Postman Templates Illustration.

Overview

When a specific emoji is added to a Slack conversation, the agent summarizes the thread and automatically creates a Jira ticket. This saves time and ensures that important context and work items are captured without manual copying and pasting.

Tools used by this agent

  • Slack: Detects emoji events, reads thread messages, and posts ticket links

  • Jira: Creates new issues with generated title and description

How does this agent work?

Trigger this agent to run in the cloud by using a Slack emoji. This agent:

  1. Watches for a specific, user-defined emoji reaction in Slack threads.

  2. Summarizes the full message thread and outputs

    • A summary of the conversation

    • A suggested title for the ticket

  3. Creates a new Jira ticket using the generated content.

  4. Posts a reply in the original Slack thread with a link to the created Jira issue.
