HipChat Integration Guide – Legacy

HipChat is persistent group chat for teams, with over 140 integrations and native clients for desktop and mobile devices. Hipchat has integrated its chat and communication platform into PagerDuty’s alerting ecosystem. This means that thanks to webhooks, HipChat is able to rebroadcast PagerDuty incident status on all state changes including triggers, acknowledgements, resolves, assigns and escalations. This complements our HipChat Slash Command integration which allows you to trigger incidents in PagerDuty from HipChat via a slash command. If you are using a self-hosted version of HipChat, please use our HipChat Server integration guide.
