Get Zulip notifications for your Capistrano deploys!

1. {!create-a-bot-indented.md!}

2. {!download-python-bindings.md!}

3. You can now send Zulip messages by calling the zulip-send utility from your deploy.rb config file. Here's some example code for sending a Zulip notification when a deployment has completed:

after 'deploy', 'notify:humbug'

namespace :notify do
  desc "Post a message to Zulip after deploy"
  task :humbug do
    run_locally "echo 'I just deployed to #{stage}! :tada:' | zulip-send \
    --user capistrano-bot@example.com --api-key a0b1c2d3e4f5a6b7c8d9e0f1a2b3c4d5 \
    --site={{ api_url }} \
    --stream commits --subject deployments || true"
  end
end

The --user and --api-key should be the email and API key of the Zulip bot created above. You can also put these values in a ~/.zuliprc file on your Capistrano machine. See our API docs for instructions on creating that file.

!!! tip ""

You can change the `deploy` above to another step of
your deployment process, if you'd like the notification to fire
at a different time. See [Capistrano's Before/After Hooks page][1]
for more information!
