(Deprecated) Slack Jira Issue Expansion

Notice: This project is no longer being maintained and the APIs that is uses are deprecated.

Update 2017-08-24: If you're looking to get setup quickly then you should check out https://slack.atlassian.io before using this image. If that's not for you - come back!

A killer feature of the integration between Hipchat and Jira is the issue expansion. Whenever a Jira issue is mention in the chat, the Jira integration would pop up some high level information about the issue and a link.

With the Jira integration in Slack being a bit light, we decided to implement a simple bot using the Slack RTM API:
