Integration Features

NASA connects with Jira, Confluence, Slack, and video meeting tools. Each integration extends different phases of the meeting lifecycle - preparation, live meetings, and post-meeting documentation.

Jira Integration

NASA runs on the Jira platform and provides direct access to Jira issues throughout the meeting lifecycle.

Preparation

During the My Update phase, participants can work with Jira issues in several ways:

  • Suggested Issues - NASA surfaces relevant Jira issues based on the stream's filter configuration (priority, status, issue type, or saved Jira filter)

  • Issue Search - Find any Jira issue by key or title, including issues outside the stream's board

  • Create Issues - Create new Jira issues directly from the preparation view

  • Issue Details - View status, assignee, priority, and story points without leaving NASA

Live Meetings

During a running meeting, participants and the Scrum Master can interact with Jira issues:

  • Open Issues - Click any issue key to view full issue details in a pop-up

  • Edit Issues - Modify status, assignee, priority, or other fields from within the meeting

  • Add Comments - Add comments that can optionally sync back to the Jira issue

  • Create Issues - In Team Meetings, the Scrum Master can create new issues during the meeting

Comment Sync

NASA supports two types of comments on items:

  • NASA-only comments - Visible within NASA and the Team Journal, but not written to Jira

  • Synced comments - Written back to the Jira issue as a comment, visible in both NASA and Jira


Comment sync behavior depends on stream settings and Post-Meeting Automation rules.

Real-Time Updates

Changes made to Jira issues outside NASA (status transitions, reassignments, new comments) appear in NASA when the page is refreshed or the meeting view updates.

Confluence Integration

NASA can pull Confluence pages into meeting agendas and export meeting records to Confluence.

Adding Confluence Pages as Agenda Items

In Team Meetings, you can add Confluence pages as agenda items:

  1. Open your My Update for the stream

  2. Click Add Confluence Page

  3. Search for the page by title

  4. The page appears as an item that participants can reference during the meeting


A Confluence connection must be configured in Settings > Data Sources before adding pages.

Team Journal Export to Confluence

NASA can export Team Journal entries to a Confluence page, creating a permanent record outside the 30-day retention window:

  • Manual export - Export individual journal entries on demand from the Team Journal view

  • Automatic export - Configure automatic export after each meeting in Settings > General > Team Journal Export to Confluence


The export creates or updates a Confluence page with the meeting record, including participants, items discussed, comments, and follow-up items.

Each NASA installation supports one Confluence connection. Connect your Confluence instance in Settings > Data Sources.

Slack Integration

NASA sends notifications to a Slack channel configured per stream.

NASA supports Slack notifications only - email notifications are not available.

Available Notifications

  • Update Reminder - Reminds participants to prepare their My Update before the meeting. Configure the timing (for example, 30 minutes before) in Settings > Notifications

  • Meeting Reminder - Notifies participants when the meeting is about to start. Configure the timing and message content in Settings > Notifications

  • Slackbot Commands - Participants can interact with NASA directly from Slack:

    • /nasa update - open your My Update preparation for the next meeting

    • /nasa status - check the current meeting status and lobby participants

    • /nasa join - enter the meeting lobby directly from Slack

Setting Up Slack Notifications

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications

  2. Select Slack as the notification channel

  3. Choose or create a Slack channel for the stream

  4. Configure reminder timing and message content

  5. Click Save Changes


Each stream can use a different Slack channel.

For detailed notification configuration including reminder timing and message templates, see Notifications.

Video Meeting Integration

NASA supports linking to external video meeting tools from the Meeting Lobby. Supported tools include Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

To configure a video meeting link:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Meeting Settings

  2. Expand the Meeting Settings section

  3. Enter the video meeting URL in the Meeting Link field

  4. Click Save Changes


When participants enter the Meeting Lobby, they see the video meeting link and can join the call directly.
