Once you configure this plugin, build related messages will appear in the workplace messaging system.

To send messages from inside pipeline script:

  • Configure the webhook you want to send message following the steps mentioned above.
  • In the Pipeline script use the following command:
    office365ConnectorSend message: "<Your message>", status:"<Build status>"

To send message from inside Jenkinsfile:

  • In the script use the following command:
    office365ConnectorSend message: "<Your message>", status:"<Build status>", webhookUrl:'<The connector webhook url>'

Requirements

Release 4.5

  1. Added more logging and modified title of card to display branch name as well.

Release 4.4

  1. Added support for macros that allow to define when the connection is triggered. User can define additional conditions that must be met to trigger the notification. For example having generic build that builds many envs it is possible to get notification only for one (eg based on build params).
  2. Allow additional parameter of "color" to be passed to office365ConnectorSend. This will allow specifying the HEX color code of the card used to display when the 'message' attribute is set.

    Example: office365ConnectorSend message: "My Message", status: "FAILURE", webhookUrl: "https://....", color: "d00000"

  1. Allow webhook parameter to be expanded, so for a build you can define your webhook as $webhook and have the the ability to expand the $webhook value to an actual URL either by environment variables, build variables, build parameters and etc.

  3. Add support for started card and completed card for pipeline.

    office365ConnectorSend status: "Started", webhookUrl: "${env.HOOK}"

    office365ConnectorSend message: "Hello world", webhookUrl: "${env.HOOK}"
