Thinking about doing an Integration with Slack
Has anyone else considered this?
All I really want is updates to tickets and boards to show up in the chat channel we are all hanging out in.
My main question is, why isn't there a simple way to have YouTrack programmatically notify me of changes?
Looks like my choices are either do something with CORS hooked into the page that would post to Slack or either use Jabber or email to get the notifications then write some code that pulls them out and sends them on to Slack?
Hope I am missing something. Looked at the API documentation pretty extensively.
Thanks.

For RSS, it is only somewhat useful. More or less, we need the REST API to do anything useful.
For e.g., there is no way to get latest comments from REST, so I use the RSS API, parse the ticket number, and then get the relevant data from the REST API.
There is some issue with work items. I'm always getting a difference of around 1 minute in the timestamp for each work item.

Doesn't make a lot of sense for me ...
