/estimate [user story]
to request story point estimations from your team right in Slack. Helperbot hides your team’s votes until you mark the voting as complete. Once you mark voting as complete, Helperbot provides the median and average points determined by your team. This works asynchronously – your team members can vote at any time while voting is open – and Helperbot will remind the channel if the voting is still open.:thought_balloon: If you’re a Jira user, Helperbot can insert into Slack the issue title and summary from Jira with the ticket number. You can automatically point the ticket from Slack by selecting either the median or average points.• Use the command
To initiate a Jira connection, simply runestimate /auth
. Remember: Helperbot will be taking any actions as this user (pointing tickets or transitioning them), so consider creating a dedicated Helperbot Jira account for maximum control and privacy. Helperbot only supports on Jira connection per Slack organization at this time.
/rate [thing to rate]
to set up a fist of five poll, allowing everyone in a channel to pick a number between 0-5 to give their opinion on your question.• Use the command /cr <GitHub Pull Request URL>
to add a PR to a review queue, allowing everyone in a channel to claim your PR for review. :thought_balloon: If you'd like, Helperbot can connect to the Helperbot GitHub app to show relevant PR data for your queued item. Use /cr auth
to enable the extended functionality.
