Hubot is the friendly chat bot built by the people over at Github. Hubot “logs in” as a user to any of the major chat tools. Some notable ones:

• Slack
• HipChat
• Gtalk
• Yammer

Once installed and configured, Hubot can then listen for “send event” and it will create an xMatters event and notify the recipients with a message. Callbacks are enabled to allow the bot to post real time event status, device delivery status, and user response information directly to the chat room or direct message.
