How it works…
In order for any application to integrate with and make remote API calls to HipChat, an
API token must be used.
Out of the box, HipChat integration works by using post functions that trigger JIRA to send
notifications to HipChat. Since we added the
Notify hipchat
post function to the
Create
Issue
transition, every time an issue is created, a notification message is sent to the selected
HipChat room.
Note that we moved the post function down the list. This is necessary as we are doing this
on the
Create Issue
transition, so we need the issue to be created before we send the noti-
fication; otherwise, the notification will not contain the issue key or the link to the issue.
Since this integration is based on post functions, we can add the trigger to any transitions in
the workflow.
The JQL field in the post function allows us to limit what JIRA will send to HipChat. For
example, we can use the following JQL to only send issues of the
Support Request
type:
issuetype = "Support Request"
