tcWebHooks - A TeamCity plugin to send webhooks for build events

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/tcplugins/tcWebHooks status license

tcWebHooks is a TeamCity plugin which sends webhook HTTP POST requests to a destination of your choice. WebHook POSTs for events are a great way to use an event driven architecture to get updates in other systems, rather than polling teamcity for build state changes.

Typical use cases include:

  • Posting messages to chat systems
  • Informing systems of events that should trigger an action. eg, deployment, packaging, etc
  • Controlling hardware like a lava lamp, build bunny, etc.
  • Anything else that would like to know about an event, rather than having to poll.

Features

Standard features

  • WebUI for creating webhooks
  • A customizable webhook body via various different means (templates, build properties, custom parameters)
  • Can be triggered from many different events in the build lifecycle
  • WebHook Templates, for specification of a payload format once and re-use across multiple webhook configurations
  • A set of templates for common services. Eg, Slack and MatterMost, Flowdock, ElasticSearch
  • A standard list of variables which can be used for assembling a custom payload (eg, ${buildStatusUrl}), as well as access to the TeamCity build properties (eg, ${teamcity.agent.jvm.os.name}).
  • Basic Auth and Bearer Token Authentication

Advanced Features

  • Support for using a proxy for outbound requests.
  • Regular Expression Filter support , which allows conditionally controlling an event based on text in the webhook properties
  • A REST API for creating/modifying webhook templates (with a plan to support creating/editing webhooks in the future)
  • Custom Headers for when your endpoint just expects something specific in a header
  • Import and export of webhook templates for sharing via REST API
  • Control of HTTP timeouts

Requesting Help

The wiki is a good first point of call for help with getting started, and configuring tcWebHooks. If you find a bug or believe there is a missing feature, please create an issue on Github. For questions and discussions, there is also a Gitter chat setup. Please bear in mind that I also have a full time job, a wife and kids, and am probably not in your timezone. Hopefully over time we'll build up a group of people that can help if I'm not online.
