Jenkins : Chatter Notifier Plugin

Features

This is a plugin for Jenkins that will post build results or custom text during a build to a Chatter feed in Salesforce. You can configure it to post to a specific User (e.g. a build user), a specific group (e.g. a group that owns the build), or a specific record (perhaps you have a custom object that tracks build configs).

Configure

1. Install the Chatter Plugin using the Jenkins Plugin Manager and restart the server
2. Create new credentials of the kind "Username with Password"
   1. Remember to include your users API security token if needed as part of the password
      
3. Create or update a Freestyle Job:
   
   1. Add post-build action -> Chatter Results or Add build step → Post to Chatter
   2. Populate the fields as needed (see the inline help for more details):
      1. Credentials
      2. Optional server URL to login to
      3. Record id (record, user, or group) to post results to (leave this blank to post to the user's wall)
         
4. Add a step to a Pipeline Job:
   1. Configure a step within the context of a node: 
      1. Example: 

         chatterPost body: "This is a Chatter post from a pipeline! ${env.JOB_NAME} ${env.BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME}", credentialsId: 'JENKINS_CREDENTIAL_ID', recordId: 'SOME_RECORD_ID'

   2. See the README in GitHub or the Jenkins Snippet Generator for more information.
