Installation

From your Redmine plugins directory, clone this repository as redmine_rocketchat (note the underscore!):

git clone https://github.com/scantem/redmine_rocketchat.git redmine_rocketchat

You will also need the httpclient dependency, which can be installed by running

bundle install

from the plugin directory.

Restart Redmine, and you should see the plugin show up in the Plugins page. Under the configuration options, set the Rocket.chat API URL to the URL for an Incoming WebHook integration in your Rocket.chat account (see also the next two sections).

Customized Routing

You can also route messages to different channels on a per-project basis. To do this, create a project custom field (Administration > Custom fields > Project) named Rocketchat Channel. If no custom channel is defined for a project, the parent project will be checked (or the default will be used). To prevent all notifications from being sent for a project, set the custom channel to -.

For more information, see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugins (see also next section for an easy configuration demonstration).

Screenshot Guided Configuration

Step 1: Create an Incoming Webhook in Rocket.chat (Account Settings > Integrations > Incoming Webhooks).

Step 2: Install this Redmine plugin for Rocket.chat.

Step 3: Configure this Redmine plugin for Rocket.chat. For per-project customized routing, leave the Rocket.chat Channel field empty and follow the next steps, otherwise all Redmine projects will post to the same Rocket.chat channel. Be careful when filling the channel field, you need to input the channel's handle, not the display name visible to users. You can find each channel's handle by going inside the channel and click the down-arrow and selecting view info.

Step 4: For per-project customized routing, first create the project custom field (Administration > Custom fields > Project).

Step 5: For per-project customized routing, configure the Rocket.chat channel handle inside your Redmine project.

The source code is forked from https://github.com/altsol/redmine_mattermost with minor adjustments for Rocket.chat, the redmine_mattermost project was forked from https://github.com/sciyoshi/redmine-slack. Special thanks to the original author and contributors for making this awesome hook for Redmine. This fork is just refactored to use Rocket.chat-namespaced configuration options in order to use multiple hooks (Rocket.chat, Mattermost and Slack) in a Redmine installation and make the announcements Rocket.chat friendly.
