Zapier Integration

NOTE: This extension is pre-installed with Team Services.

Use Zapier to connect Visual Studio Team Services to 500+ other apps and services for development, operations, customer connection, sales, marketing and more. Once you have your Zapier account, just create a zap to send messages between Visual Studio Team Services and those other apps.

Trigger a zap from an event in Visual Studio Team Services

Post important events, like when a work item is assigned to your team, to Yammer, OneNote, Slack, or any of the other 500 services supported by Zapier. Create a task in Asana as a reminder to review a pull request assigned to your team, send failed build notifications directly to mobile users via SMS.

Events a zap can trigger on:

• Build completed
• Code pushed
• Pull request created or updated
• Work item created, updated, or commented on
• Message posted to a team room

Perform actions in your team project when events happen in other services

Visual Studio Team Services can also be the target of a zap. For example, create a work item when an email is received to a special email address, link a work item in Visual Studio Team Services to a GitHub commit mentioning that work item, and more.

Actions a zap can perform:

• Create a work item
• Add a link to an existing work item
• Trigger a build
• Post a message to a team room

Customize actions using data from your team project event

Zapier makes it easy to use snippets of data from your team project events to control the output of your zaps. Use placeholders along with static text to fully customize the inputs to your action. Learn more about settng up an action.
