Hi All

We need to send updates for builds to Google Chat / Hangouts, similar to the available integration with Slack, it must be a very easy to develop feature, can you please point me to the bitrise API / webhooks documentation relevant to this?

Thanks

Google Chat API is straight forward.

Hi @m.sawan,

Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have this feature existing at the moment, however, we do have an existing feature request about this: [Google Chat integration](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/google-chat-integration/5851)

Please make sure to vote for that and let us know if you have any questions!

Perfect, I work with Mike in the same team 🙂.

Actually this post is to discuss the best way to approach this, I was thinking to try to code the integration myself, and potentially contribute this back.

First, I need to know if there is a way to get web hooks for bitrise events (a build has started, failed, succeeded,…) which includes the details of the build (link,…), and where can I configure the URL for the custom service to be called with these details.

Thanks  
Sakher

@m.sawan you can’t handle webhooks in steps - steps are performed during the build, while these events happen **after** the build.

If you have your own server and that’s what you meant then sure, we support Outgoing Webhooks: [https://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/outgoing-webhooks/](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/outgoing-webhooks/)  
Quite limited right now but should do the trick 😉 You’ll most likely have to combine it with the API, as the hook only includes some base details (e.g. build started/finished includes the build’s ID, but not its artifacts), you can get the rest via the API ([API - Bitrise Docs](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/v0.1/)).

But, for simple updates/message you don’t even need these. If you want to do something like our Slack step that’s really simple to do in just a step, without any webhooks or [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) api 😉

I’d suggest you to check similar steps, e.g. our slack step ([GitHub - bitrise-steplib/steps-slack-message: Send a Slack message](https://github.com/bitrise-io/steps-slack-message)) or the hipchat steps ( [GitHub - bitrise-steplib/steps-hipchat: HipChat](https://github.com/bitrise-io/steps-hipchat) or [GitHub - bitrise-steplib/steps-hipchat-v2](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-hipchat-v2) ).

If you’d have any questions just let us know! 🙂
