How to do it…
Proceed with the following steps to integrate JIRA with HipChat:
1. The first step is to create a new API token in HipChat for JIRA:
1. Log in to your HipChat account; you need to have admin-level access.
2. Navigate to
Group Admin

API
.
3. Select
Admin
for
Type
and enter a label. The label should indicate the
system that will be using the token, for example, JIRA.
4. Click on
Create
to create the new API token:
2. Now that we have created a new API token, we can use it to enable integration
between JIRA and HipChat:
1. Navigate to
Administration

HipChat Configuration
.
2. Cut and paste the API token from HipChat into the
Admin Token
field
and click on
Save

3. The last step is to update our workflow so that JIRA will send out notifications
when an issue is transitioned; this is done as follows:
1. Navigate to
Administration
|
Issues
|
Workflows
.
2. Click on the
Edit
link for the workflow that is used by our project.
3. Locate the
Create Issue
transition and click on
Post functions
.
4. Click on the
Add post function
link and select
Notify hipchat
.
5. Enter the JQL query if you want to filter and limit the issues that will send
notifications to HipChat; leave it blank for all issues.
6. Select the chat room(s) that the notifications should be sent to.
7. Select whether HipChat clients should also be notified.
