Our customers love HipChat because it’s so easy to extend. HipChat connects to over 45 tools that your company uses every day. Here are 5 ways to make HipChat your team’s command center and stay on top of everything your team needs to know about.

1. Connect to JIRA and Pivotal Tracker

Track issues with JIRAEvery company has projects they need to manage. Keeping up with the issues your team needs to address for these projects is a breeze with HipChat. Integrate with project management tools like Atlassian JIRA or Pivotal Tracker, and receive updates whenever an issue is opened, commented on, or resolved.

2. Collaborate on code with Bitbucket or GitHub

3. Builds and deploys with Bamboo or Jenkins

Build and deploy with BambooDeploying clean code is critical to your team’s success. Integrate HipChat with a continuous integration tool like Jenkins or Atlassian Bamboo and be the first to know whenever your code passes or fails a build. If your team deploys with Heroku, you can have HipChat send you a message to let you know a team member deployed your app.

4. Tackle customer service with UserVoice and Zendesk

Capistrano notifications in HipChat

By Garret Heaton | 2 years ago | 9 Comments

Our friends at Mojo Tech recently released a simple Ruby wrapper for the HipChat API which has special support for Capistrano, a popular deployment framework. After adding a few lines to your Capistrano scripts you’ll receive room messages during deployments, rollbacks, and migrations.

To install the gem, run:

$ gem install hipchat

Then add the following to your Capistrano script:

require 'hipchat/capistrano'

set :hipchat_token, "your token"
set :hipchat_room_name, "your room"
set :hipchat_announce, false # notify users?

Pretty easy! Check out the project page for more details.

By the way, we have integrations with other services such as GitHub, Heroku, and MailChimp as well as API libraries in other languages. Let us know if you’ve done something cool with our API that you’d like to share.
