This guide explains how to set up Gitter notifications using the discourse-chat-integration plugin. First, install the plugin if not already done. In Gitter, navigate to your room’s settings → integrations, and select custom (soon to be discourse), then copy the provided Webhook URL. In Discourse, enable the chat integration gitter enabled setting, go to Plugins → Chat Integrations → Gitter, click Add Channel, enter your Gitter room name, paste the Webhook URL, and click Save Channel. Test the connection using the Test button — a notification should appear in your Gitter room’s activity feed.
