Jira Mention Notifier

Real-time Jira alerts for @mentions, assignments, status changes, comments & watched issues — right in your browser.

🔔 Jira Mention Notifier Jira Mention Notifier is a lightweight and reliable browser extension designed to keep you informed of critical Jira updates in real time, eliminating the need to constantly keep a Jira tab open or flood your email inbox. Never miss another deadline, blocker, or urgent question from your teammates! The extension runs quietly in the background and delivers instant push notifications when your attention is needed. 🛠️ CORE FEATURES & CAPABILITIES The extension offers granular control, allowing you to customize exactly which events trigger a notification: 👤 Assigned to me — Get notified immediately the moment a new task, ticket, or bug is assigned to you. 🔄 Status change in my issues — Keep track of your tasks as they move across the board (e.g., when a QA engineer moves your ticket to "Ready for Test" or a PM closes it). 💬 Comments in my issues — Stay on top of discussions inside tickets where you are the reporter or assignee. 🎯 @Mentions in any issue — The killer feature! If a colleague tags your username (@ivan.ivanov) in any comment or description across the server, you will receive an instant alert. 👀 Issues I watch — Receive updates on any tickets where you are added as a Watcher. 🆕 New unassigned issues in a project — Ideal for team leads and managers: track new incoming tickets in your project (e.g., SDE) before they are triaged. 🔖 Bookmarks — Bookmark any issue to silently follow its comments and status changes, even without being a Jira watcher. 🔒 SECURITY & EASY SETUP You never have to expose your primary Jira password. The extension connects securely using native Jira authentication: • Enter a custom Connection Name and your Jira Server URL. • Input your exact Jira Username to accurately track your @mentions. • Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) in your Jira profile settings and paste it into the extension. Your credentials are stored locally in your browser and are sent only to your own Jira server — never to any third party. ✨ WHY CHOOSE THIS EXTENSION? • Real-Time Speed — Background polling ensures you get notified within moments of an update. • Project-Specific Filters — Configure separate notification profiles for different projects. • Multiple Servers — Connect several Jira servers and switch between them in one click. • "Test Connection" Button — Verify your API token and URL setup with a single click before you start. • Decluttered Workflow — Clear out the email clutter and handle Jira interactions directly from your browser.
