Sidebar monitors a user-managed list of GitHub repository pull requests for mentions of Jira tickets or work items. We only monitor the content of PR descriptions and comments, not the actual code in the repository.

Sidebar reads various contexts from Jira to determine if work discovered in Slack overlaps with existing efforts or represents new/untracked work that you might want to add to Jira. This helps prevent duplicate tickets and ensures all work is properly tracked.

Sidebar monitors for mentions of "work" in a user-managed whitelist of Slack channels. You have complete control over which channels Sidebar monitors, ensuring that only relevant conversations are analyzed.

Sidebar is committed to meeting industry standards for data protection and privacy. We are currently in Beta and actively working toward securing SOC II compliance to ensure the highest level of security for your data.

All data transmitted to and from Sidebar is encrypted using TLS, and sensitive data is stored using AES-256 encryption. We implement industry best practices to ensure your data remains secure at all times.
