HipChat is group and video chat for teams.

Connect Confluence to HipChat to send real time notifications to your team or project's HipChat room

Don't have HipChat yet? You can sign up for free and start using HipChat right away.

Connect Confluence and HipChat

First your organization's HipChat account needs to be connected to Confluence.  It only takes a minute.

You'll need administrator permissions for your HipChat group to do this. 

If you're a Confluence admin go to  > General Configuration > HipChat Integration and click Connect HipChat to get started. 

If you're a Space Admin you can go to Space Tools > Integration > HipChat to get started. 

Using the Documentation theme?

If your space uses the Documentation theme go to Browse > Space Admin HipChat

You'll need to be logged in to HipChat as a Group Admin to complete the integration. 

Invite users

If you're a Confluence administrator you can send an email to invite users to join HipChat directly from the Integration screen ( > General Configuration > HipChat Integration). You'll need at least one space integrated with a room to see the invite users link.

Send space notifications to HipChat

Keep your team in the know by sending notifications about space activities, like new pages and blogs, to your team's HipChat room. Notifications appear in real-time, and one click takes you straight to Confluence. 

To set up space notifications go to Space Tools > Integration > HipChat and add a room to the list.  

Using the Documentation theme?

If your space uses the Documentation theme go to Browse > Space Admin HipChat

You'll need Space Admin permissions, and if you are connecting to private HipChat rooms, you will need to log in to HipChat on the integration screen. 

See who's online

When you hover over a user mention or a byline it will show if the user is available in HipChat. Green, yellow and red icons indicate when someone is available, away or doesn't want to be disturbed.
