Notifyr 4.1 release notes

Release date: 7 Mar 2019

ASK Software is proud to announce the release of Notifyr - Notification for Bitbucket 4.1.0.

Starting today you can specify for which events your notification rules should run! Woohoo!

Prior to this version, the notification hook from Notifyr was triggered for every important event, this didn't allow for more fine-grained notifications.
I received your feedback and added the option to specify these events. The documentation has been updated to reflect which events are recognized.



Get hook notifications on specified events

It is now possible to define for which events a rule should send notifications. Possible events are:

PushTriggered when code is pushed to a repository, also triggered when editing a file in Bitbucket.
ForkTriggered when the repository is being forked
BranchCreateTriggered when a new branch is created
TagCreateTriggered when a new Tag is created
PullRequestCreateTriggered when a new Pull Request is created
PullRequestMergeTriggered when a Pull Request is merged
AllTrigger for all the implemented events – default

If no events are specified the hook is triggered on all the above events.

Example
{
  "rules": [{
        "events": ["Push", "BranchCreate"],
        "notifications": [
            { "address": "allthethings@example.com" }
        ]
  }]
}

Send hook notifications to users and groups

Another major change to the hook configuration is the possibility to specify an array of addresses and to use variables!

Example - Send to multiple email addresses
{
  "rules": [{
        "notifications": [
            { "address": ["allthethings@example.com", "anotherlist@example.com"] }
        ]
  }]
}

Two variables have been added to the json configuration:

${group.<groupname>}To send a notification to all group members.
ie: ${group.bitbucket-users} 
${user.<username>

To send a notification to a specifc user
ie: ${user.arthur.dent}

Example - Send to all group members
{
  "rules": [{
        "notifications": [
            { "address": "${group.bitbucket-users}" }
        ]
  }]
}

Notification on Fork events

Notifyr now sends notifications when a repository is being forked. This can both be specified from the JSON as on a per-user base.
