It features one-on-one and group/topic chat, cloud-based file storage, video calling, searchable message-history and inline-image viewing. Add-ons for HipChat can be installed to make HipChat more integrated into your ecosystem. We use several add-ons for HipChat to increase efficiency and to make our jobs easier. HipChat is the platform to achieve the ideal ChatOps environment and we will be having more blog posts about it in the near future. For now, we would like to announce our favorite HipChat add-ons and integrations for 2016.

Bamboo for HipChat
Bamboo for HipChat, made by Atlassian, allows you to send Bamboo build notifications directly into your HipChat room. You can get a notification in a HipChat room when a build passes or fails, when you are assigned responsibility for breaking a build and many other types of notification events. We use Bamboo for HipChat internally, to receive real-time notifications for our Bamboo builds. We collaborate and provide feedback based on the results that are posted from Bamboo.
