Description
Bug Description
When multiple Slack Project Update connections are configured (different projects → different Slack channels), the handleIssueWebhook in the silo service sends work item state change notifications to the wrong channel.
Steps to Reproduce
- Configure Slack integration with two Project Update mappings:
- Project A → #channel-a
- Project B → #channel-b
- Create a work item in Project B
- Change state to Done
Expected: Notification goes to #channel-b
Actual: Notification goes to #channel-a (the first entity connection returned)
Root Cause
In handleIssueWebhook (silo), the query to find the project entity connection does not filter by project_id:
const [projectEntityConnection] = await integrationConnectionHelper.getWorkspaceEntityConnections({
workspace_connection_id: workspaceConnection.id,
entity_type: E_SLACK_ENTITY_TYPE.SLACK_PROJECT_UPDATES
});
This returns ALL SLACK_PROJECT_UPDATES connections and destructures [0] — the first one, regardless of which project the work item belongs to.
Fix
Filter the result by the payload's project:
const allConnections = await integrationConnectionHelper.getWorkspaceEntityConnections({
workspace_connection_id: workspaceConnection.id,
entity_type: E_SLACK_ENTITY_TYPE.SLACK_PROJECT_UPDATES
});
const projectEntityConnection = allConnections.find(c => c.project_id === payload.project) || null;
Or better — add project_id as a filter parameter to getWorkspaceEntityConnections.
Additional Context
Note: the handleProjectUpdateWebhook function (the project_update worker) correctly filters by project. The bug is only in the issue worker path.

Research direction
Start at the silo service's handleIssueWebhook and compare its connection lookup with handleProjectUpdateWebhook, which already filters by project. Trace payload.project through getWorkspaceEntityConnections; done when issue-worker notifications route each configured project to its matching Slack channel, with coverage for multiple mappings if relevant tests exist.
