Find the integrations that best suit your team:

For Software & Operations teams

Help your team manage services and stay on top of incidents, plan and build the agile way, run continuous code review with Git, and automate deployments.

Manage your services and stay on top of incidents

BigPanda: See incident status with a description of all correlated alerts and take action from within Hipchat to view the incident’s timeline or pause updates. Connect to Hipchat

 

Hosted Graphite: See the overall state of the infrastructure at a glance. By clicking the “Glance” inside Hipchat, the side bar changes to a filterable list of all your alerts, showing which ones are unhealthy and what the alert conditions are. Once you get an alert, you can jump right from Hipchat to a Hosted Graphite dashboard. For teams with many dashboards, there’s a quick filtering box. Connect to Hipchat

Statuspage: Keep your whole company informed during downtime with automatic status updates sent directly into your rooms. Statuspage displays the full context of your status page inside of Hipchat. Use Hipchat’s discuss feature to pipe an incident card back into a room for quick communication. Connect to Hipchat

 

Sentry: Monitor the web’s check engine light right from Hipchat. Get alerts from Sentry with important details about the event. Then, on a click, open the  event in the sidebar for a quick glance. Connect to Hipchat

SignalFX: Receive alerts when your detectors are triggered, stay updated on metrics, and see the severity of alerts at a glance. Connect to Hipchat

Plan and build the agile way

 Blueprint: Send comments and artifacts to Hipchat from their everyday tool. Just include @Hipchat in a comment to send a notification into Hipchat. Or @mention a particular Hipchat user to send them a notification directly. Using the Hipchat Glance view, you can quickly access any new or changed artifacts, giving teammates the ability to fully understand the changes and context in their tool of comfort. Better yet, Hipchat users can update Blueprint without ever leaving Hipchat. Commenting in Hipchat will send a message back to Blueprint with intelligent referencing of the relevant project and artifact. Connect to Hipchat 

Planning With Cards: This integration allows distributed, agile teams to make accurate estimations of their work for sprint planning. All team members assess the level of difficulty of the tasks being estimated. The add-on facilitates this by preventing participants to be influenced by the rest of the team. Then, once everybody’s ready, Glance updates the view and everybody can see the results. Chat rooms are often busy and distractions may arise, so this integration lets ScrumMasters or Product owners nudge anyone who isn’t being responsive with an action inside the right glance. Connect to Hipchat

Behave Pro: This integration brings Behave Pro’s User Story collaboration out of Jira Software and into Hipchat. Hipchat rooms can display a “Glance” to show the number of impeded Issues within the current sprint or Kanban board. The glance updates in real-time as team members ask and resolve User Story questions. To discuss and answer, just open the Issue and drill down into the question by clicking on the “Glance.” Connect to Hipchat

Standup Bot: Standup Bot is an agile team’s best friend. Use “/standup” to record your daily standup report. Then read everyone’s reports at your convenience from the Glance view. Connect to Hipchat

Run continuous code reviews with Git

Bitbucket: View all your open pull requests within ever leaving Hipchat. The new Bitbucket integration not only brings in pull request information but also allows you to “Poke Reviewers” to give them a reminder to review your pull requests. Connect to Hipchat

Automate Your Deployments

Chef: List nodes from your Chef Server, show a node’s last converge time, and list cookbooks and versions in an environment. Connect to Hipchat
