What you get

A room message whenever someone creates, updates, or comments on a story. This integration uses the Activity Web Hook feature of Pivotal Tracker. The messages look like:

Nice!

Setup

  1. Go to your project’s settings page in Pivotal Tracker.
  2. Click the “Integrations” tab and scroll down to the “Activity Web Hook” section and add a URL like: https://api.hipchat.com/v1/webhooks/pivotaltracker/?auth_token=<token>&room_id=<room_id>
  3. Select API v3
  4. Replace <token> with your API token.
  5. Replace <room_id> with the name or ID of the room you want the messages sent to. 
  6. Certain event types may be ignored by passing an ignore variable. e.g.: ignore=story_update to ignore story updates. If ignoring multiple types, separate with commas. Event types which may be ignore are listed here.
  7. To include the project name in the message as a prefix, specify the projectvariable. e.g.: project=Winning.
