In Notifyr - Notifications for Bitbucket 5.0 we're introducing a range of new and updated features, including a powerful new addition to customize your templates.

What's new

Customize your notification templates

I'm happy to announce that it's now possible to customize your notifications templates! It has been a highly requested feature and available today!

The templates are customizable on a global (Bitbucket admin) level and do require some knowledge about HTML. The templates are based upon the Jtwig Templating Engine so it's easy to add some logic to them. Learn more about customizing your notification templates

Favorites moved to a standalone app

Favorites have been a part of Notifyr for a long time, and recently it has been promoted to a standalone app for Bitbucket! Having Favorites for Bitbucket as a separate app lets organizations pick and choose what they are looking for in apps. Both Notifyr as Favorites have their clear use cases, and it makes more sense to separate those.

In this release of Notifyr, the favorites feature is removed. To continue using this feature you'll have to install the Favorites for Bitbucket app

If you have an active Notifyr license purchased before 1 Oct 2019, you're eligible for a free license for Favorites, request one using the ASK Service Desk.

The 100% discount applies to the first year only, after which Favorites has to be renewal as normal. Promotion codes can be requested until the 1st of July 2020.

More products are joining the ASK Software family, so I took some time to update the look-and-feel of Notifyr's logo to match the product family.

OldNew

I'm updating the website, documentation, and screenshots so it's possible to come across both logos. It's the same product!
