Integrate Trello and HipChat

Send important Trello activity logs to HipChat rooms.

This program will monitor multiple Trello boards/lists and send notifications to multiple HipChat rooms. You can monitor a whole board, or just a specific subset of lists within it.

Currently, the following Trello activities are notified for all the specified lists/boards:

• Creation of a card
• Comments being added to a card
• Attachments being added to a card
• Moves of cards between lists, if etiher the old or the new list is among the monitored ones
• Completion of checklist items within a card

This subset of actions (with a carefully tuned whitelist of lists) should give a good balance and report important notifications to the whole development team.

How to install

• Copy the program to some Linux server you have access to.

• Copy the sample configuration from trello-hipchat.cfg.sample to trello-hipchat.cfg.

• Go through the configuration, read the comments and follow all the instructions to get all the required API keys, tokens, IDs, etc.

• Run trello-hipchat.py within cron. You can use crontab -e to edit the current user's crontab file, and add a line like this to run the program every minute and redirect its logs to syslog:

   * * * * * /path/to/trello-hipchat.py 2>&1 | logger
