Create an environment in which all team members can be notified of changes in an app's development

By integrating DeployGate with a commonly used chat service, an entire team can share changes that occur during an app's development.

Purpose of Chat Integration​

Oftentimes, apps get released with bugs that should have been caught by the development team. Avoid missteps such as "I didn't realize that additional edits were made" and "I thought that the bugs weren't universal, so I didn't notify anyone" that can lead to an app's demise.

Steps can be taken to prevent issues from occurring:

  • Allow testers to be made aware of updates to apps under development
  • Inform developers of app issues immediately
  • Ease communications by using a common platform that all team members view regularly

For example, a message like this on Slack can allow all team members to be notified of an issue and take steps to correct the problem.

Integrate with Slack​

If selecting Slack as the chat service, click Add to Slack to open Slack. If you are logged into multiple teams, a team selection page will appear for you to choose a team for the notifications.

From the Post to menu, select the channel you wish to use, and press Authorize.

If this message is not displayed, there may be a problem with the URL or API Token. In such cases, an error message will appear on the Notification Settings page.

Integrate with Chatwork​

Using ChatWork

As of October 2016, ChatWork API is a preview version, and an application is required to proceed. (Click here for details) After approval, go to Operations Settings to Acquire API Token. The Room ID is the number portion (0123456789) of the chat's URL rid0123456789.

Select Configure to complete the process.

If configured correctly, a confirmation will appear as the chat's first message.

Integrate with Hipchat (Obsoleted)​
