If your Bamboo server has access to the internet, it can use Google Talk to send IM notifications about build results.

To configure Bamboo to use Google Talk for Instant Messaging,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'IM Server' link in the left navigation column (under 'Communication').
  3. This will display the 'Instant Messaging Server Details' page. Click the 'Edit' button.
  4. In the 'Host' field, type 'gmail.com'.
    If your IM Server uses an "@googlemail.com" account, type 'googlemail.com' in the 'Host' field.
  5. In the 'Port' field blank, type the TCP port that your organisation uses for IM traffic (or leave this field blank to have Bamboo either perform a DNS lookup or use the default port).
  6. In the 'Username' field, type the login name of the Google account from which IM notifications will be sent. Only the account name needs to be included e.g. atlassianbamboo NOT atlassianbamboo@gmail.com.
    Do not select "Requires an SSL connection"
  7. In the 'Password' field, type the password for the account specified in step 6.
  8. Type a test IM user's address (e.g. atlassianbamboo@gmail.com NOT atlassianbamboo) in the 'Test Recipient Address' box. (Note: use a different user to the one you specified in step 6.)
  9. Click the 'Test' button, and verify that the message is successfully received.
  10. Click the 'Save' button.





Google Talk does not allow IM messages to be received unless the receiver has approved the sender. Please ensure that the Gmail user specified in step 6 is approved by each Google Talk recipient. That is, ensure that the 'Host' and 'Username' have previously sent messages to each other via Google Talk.


Additional notes about using Google Talk:

  • The Google Talk service is hosted at talk.google.com. The default port is 5222. (Note: be aware that your firewall might be blocking traffic to this port.)
  • TLS is required.
  • The only supported authentication mechanism is SASL PLAIN. For additional information, please see: http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communications.html
