HipChat

HipChat is an instant messaging app built for businesses. The team chat tool lets you share files and discuss tasks in real-time with colleagues, project collaborators, and even clients through unlimited chat rooms.

This integration allows you to get real-time updates of what is happening in your Postman team. You can configure HipChat with Postman to monitor results, view a team’s activity feed, and use a HipChat Webhook URL.

Configuring Postman with HipChat

1. In the Integrations page, find HipChat from a list of Postman’s 3rd party Integrations for Postman Pro users.

1. Click the View Details button to see information about HipChat.

You also can click the Configured Integrations tab to set up other integrations, view available integrations for HipChat, or view all integrations.

Add a team activity feed to HipChat

The Team Activity Feed is where you can monitor your team’s API development and track changes. This integration updates you on all of your Collection edits in HipChat itself so you don’t have to go back into the Postman app to review your team’s activity.

1. Click the Add Integration button.

2. In the Team Activity Feed page, enter your team's activity feed URL, and click the Add Integration button.

   

   The Configured Integrations page appears with your team's activity feed.

1. Click the Add Integration button.
2. In the Monitor Run Results page, select the monitor you want to send to HipChat, and enter the notification URL.

You can also configure advanced options to alert you when a monitor run completes or when three failures occur and the first monitor run following those failures completes successfully.

Viewing updates on HipChat

Monitor run results on HipChat are color-coded based on the result of the monitor run. It shows the basic metrics of the run and also provides a link to go directly to the monitor.

Similarly, the team activity feed integration consists of the links of the changed instance.
