Bamboo can send Instant Messaging (IM) notifications about build results. There are two steps to setting this up:

  1. Configure Bamboo to use Instant Messaging (see below).
  2. Configure a plan to send IM notifications about build results (see Enabling or disabling Notifications for a Plan).

To configure Bamboo to use Instant Messaging,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'IM Server' link in the left navigation column (under 'Communication').
  3. This will display the 'Instant Messaging Server Details' page. Click the 'Edit' button.
  4. In the 'Host' field, type the address of your IM server (for example, 'chat.atlassian.com').
  5. In the 'Port' field, type the TCP port that your organisation uses for IM traffic (or leave this field blank to have Bamboo either perform a DNS lookup or use the default port).
  6. In the 'Username' field, type the login name of the IM account from which Bamboo notifications will be sent.
  7. In the 'Password' field, type the password for the account specified in step 6.
  8. If your IM server uses SSL, select the 'Requires an SSL Connection' check-box.
  9. Type a test IM user's address in the 'Test Recipient Address' box.
  10. Click the 'Test' button, and verify that a test IM message is received.
  11. Click the 'Save' button.
