Hi Vercel team,
We use Vercel Toolbar comments for design QA across several preview deployments, and the Jira "Convert to Issue" integration to turn them into tickets. Two gaps make this hard to run at team scale.
1. Let us set Parent (Epic) and Sprint when converting a comment to a Jira issue
Today the Convert to Issue dialog only exposes Project, Issue type, and Title. The docs note that "you can't currently convert a comment into a child issue." In practice every converted ticket lands without an epic or sprint, so someone has to open Jira afterwards and fix each one by hand. We usually run QA on several epics in parallel, so a fixed default would not be enough; a Parent picker (and ideally Sprint) in the dialog is what we need.
Requested:
- Parent (Epic) selector in the Convert to Issue dialog, searchable by key/summary
- Sprint selector (or "add to active sprint" toggle)
- Optionally, remember the last-used values per Vercel project
2. Webhook events for Toolbar comments
The Webhooks API currently has no events for comments. We want to react the moment a comment thread is created (e.g. classify it and create a tracker issue automatically), but the only options are polling the Threads API or relaying through the Slack app. Native events would remove that plumbing.
Requested events:
- comment.thread.created
- comment.message.created (reply)
- comment.thread.resolved / comment.thread.reopened
Payload should include thread id, project id, branch, page path, author, message text, attachment URLs, and the thread URL; the same data the Threads API already returns.
Either of these would help a lot; both together would let teams build a fully automated comment-to-ticket flow. Happy to share more details or test early versions.
Thanks!
