Additional Send Hooks
| With "additional send hooks" you are able to notify other internal/external systems besides the ordinary email notifications sent out. Notify a specific Slack Channel. Please follow the steps in the Slack documentation in order to enable Webhooks from Slack's side and generate a URL. Notify a specific HipChat room. Post a comment to the issues found in the result set. Call a REST-API that makes the notification really powerful. For example, add or update a page in Confluence, or notify some internal system that need to be triggered in some critical stage. Use placeholders in the posted data to be able to send data depending on the issues in this notification. |
