In RBLTracker

You can add a HipChat Contact type from the Manage -> Contacts section of the RBLTracker Portal.

Select “HipChat” from the Contact Type drop-down, and enter your HipChat Notification URL in the Contact Information field. After clicking “Add New Contact“, you’ll receive a confirmation message via HipChat, with a confirmation code which you need to add to the portal to confirm.

If you don’t receive the confirmation message for some reason, you can also click the “Resend” option to resend the confirmation message.

Once a contact is confirmed, it will be ready to use.
