Figure 8.21. Creating a Notifo service for your Jenkins instance
To receive notification messages from the Jenkins server, developers now need to subscribe to this
service. You can then add developers to the list of subscribers in the service Subscribers page, by
sending them subscription requests. Once the service has been created and the users are all subscribed,
you can configure your project to send out Notifo notifications (see Figure 8.22, “Configuring Notifo
notifications in your Jenkins build job”). You need the provide the API username of the Jenkins service
you set up, as well as the API Secret, both of which you can see in the Notifo Service Dashboard.
Figure 8.22. Configuring Notifo notifications in your Jenkins build job
Once this is set up, Jenkins will send almost real-time notifications of build failures to any Notifo clients
the developer is running, whether it is on a desktop or on a mobile device (see Figure 8.23, “Receiving
a Notifo notification on an iPhone”).
