Notifications in Bamboo are triggered by a range of events for a plan, including build completion, build outcomes and comments being posted against build results. You can configure whether notifications are sent for a particular event and who they are sent to. Users can choose whether to receive their notifications via email, IM, both or neither.
You must have the 'Edit' permission for a plan, to add or remove notifications for it.
Event |
Description |
'All Completed Builds' |
Bamboo will send a notification whenever a build finishes for this plan, regardless of the build result. This trigger is recommended for any plans for which it is critical that people are always informed about the latest build activity.
Many organisations start with this trigger, then change it later as they get more confidence in the continuous build process. |
'Failed Builds And First Successful' |
This trigger is generally suitable for the majority of plans. Bamboo will send a notification whenever:
- a build fails for this plan.
- the plan is 'fixed' (that is, the plan's latest build is successful and the previous build failed).
|
'After X Failed Builds' |
This trigger enables you to specify the 'Number Of Failed Builds' after which Bamboo will send a notification. This is a useful way of limiting the number of notifications, if you are concerned about people receiving too many. You can also use this event to escalate build problems, e.g. notify a manager if a build fails five times. |
'Build Hung' |
Bamboo will send a notification whenever it believes that a build has hung, according to the hung build criteria (read more about configuring your Building Hanging Detection settings). You can use this event to ensure that the right people are informed, if a build becomes unresponsive. |
'Build Commented' |
Bamboo will send a notification whenever a comment is posted against a build result. The email notification will contain all comments against the build, whereas the IM notification will only contain the comment that triggered the notification. This feature can help improve collaboration between team members. Please note that you will not receive notifications for any comments that you post. |
'Build Error' |
Bamboo will send a notification whenever an error occurs with the build process (i.e. the activities that Bamboo performs to run a build). This event is not related to failures of the actual build itself (see the 'Failed Builds And First Successful' event above). For example, a notification will be sent if Bamboo encounters an error when connecting to the repository, or detecting changes. |
For each plan, you can specify different recipients for each Notification Trigger. Note also that recipients need not be people with Bamboo user accounts.
