Installation & Configuration

See the wiki on how to install and configure TfsNotificationRelay.

Building

Visual Studio 2015 is required since TfsNotificationRelay uses C# 6. All needed TFS dependecies are included, so you should be able to just clone and build.

Branches

Branch	Description	Status
master	TfsNotificationRelay for TFS 2017.2
tfs2017.1	TfsNotificationRelay for TFS 2017.1
tfs2017	TfsNotificationRelay for TFS 2017
tfs2015	TfsNotificationRelay for TFS 2015.2+
tfs2013	TfsNotificationRelay for TFS 2013.2+

Extending TfsNotificationRelay

TfsNotificationRelay can easily be extended to send notifications to other services. Notifier modules referenced in the configuration file will be loaded dynamically at run time, so TfsNotificationRelay doesn't have to be recompiled.

1. Start a new class library project.
2. Add a reference to DevCore.TfsNotificationRelay.dll.
3. Create a class that implements the single method in INotifier. Take a look at the SlackNotifier class for pointers.
4. Build and drop in your new dll in the Plugins directory on the server.
5. Add a new bot element in DevCore.TfsNotificationRelay.dll.config with the correct assembly-qualified type name and settings.
