The new Azure DevOps integration on YellowAnt allows you and your team to get notifications about your repository and take actions on them right from your Slack window! In this article, I will take you through the steps of integration, and then demonstrate commands, notifications and actions on Azure DevOps from Slack using YellowAnt.

1. Integration and Service Hooks:

The first step is to set up your YellowAnt account and integrate it with Azure DevOps. Follow these very simple steps to sign up on YellowAnt with Slack.

To integrate Azure DevOps with Slack,

You can watch the video tutorial here.

Go to your YellowAnt Dashboard (yoursubdomain.yellowant.com) or head over to the YellowAnt Marketplace.

2. If you are in the dashboard, go to the tab called “Applications” and look for “Azure DevOps” under available applications. If you have already integrated the application, you will be able to see it under “My Applications”.

3. Once you find the application either in the dashboard or on the Marketplace click on Integrate. You will be taken to a page where you’ll find the integrate option/button. Click on the integrate button.

5. Give the necessary permissions.

6. Select the name of your organization, and click submit.

7. Azure DevOps is now integrated and you get a message on your chat application for the same. You will be able to see it under your applications in the Dashboard too.

You will need to set up Service Hooks to allow YellowAnt to receive notifications from your Azure DevOps account.

To set up notifications service hooks,

Note for project Admins: If you have admin permissions, YellowAnt will automatically create your Service Hooks for all projects within your organization for which you have admin access. For new projects, you will have to follow the steps below

Note for non-admins: If you do not have admin permissions, please follow the steps below to setup your notifications

(i) Go to the project for which you want webhooks. Then go to Project Settings, Service hooks. Copy the URL from the Azure DevOps Integration Page.

(ii) Add a new Service Hook. Select a trigger.

(iii) In the next step, add the webhook url. The webhook url can be found on your integrations page (shown above)

(iv)Click on ‘Test’ to see if YellowAnt sends a notification. Click “Finish”. Repeat this process for all triggers you want to get notifications for.
