tgethr now supports Pivotal Tracker
People have been really digging Pivotal Tracker as a bug/feature management tool. We just started using it and I think we concur. One thing we wanted right away though was an easy way to have an email turn into a story in Pivotal, and to turn email discussions into comments on that story. So we added it as an additional service in tgethr.
If you have a tgethr group, just go to edit it.
Click to edit, and then click to add additional services
You’ll see Pivotal Tracker as an option.
Now add Pivotal and provide a project ID for one of your projects you want to associate with the group and your API key.
Submit and you’re done. Here’s how the integration now works.
Any time you send an email to your tgethr group (or use the web interface) just add the hashtags #feature #bug #chore or #release to your message. tgethr will then go ahead and make that into a story over at Pivotal, make you the sender the requestor of the story, and that’s it.
If you want to assign it to someone you can also add #for:someone in the message. And “someone” could be the first part of their email address or their initials in Pivotal. Like #for:NK or #for:nate. Either would work for my team to assign it to me.
Tgethr will send out it’s notes with a link to your pivotal story. And we’ll also sync any more replies to this tgethr discussion back over to Pivotal so folks can just use email to talk about their bugs and tickets.
Let us know how it works for you! Thanks for using tgethr!
