Range and Jenkins

Using Zaps to connect Range to various tools and apps allows you to automatically send work from an app to Range. In Range, these actions, such as creating a new issue, updating the status of a task, or commenting on an item, then show up as suggestions in Range for you to include in your daily Check-ins.

Getting started

Create your Zapier account

Before beginning, a Zapier account is necessary to use Zaps and connect Range with other apps. If you do not already have an account, visit the Range profile page on the Zapier website.

Create your Range account

You will need to have a Range account. Click here to create your account if you don’t already have one.

Creating the trigger

Select the Zap

• To connect the Range and Jenkins Zap, head to Zapier’s Jenkins + Range page. Once there, select the trigger or action you want to send an update to Range.

Note: There is only one Jenkins trigger — New Job Status Notification.

• Select the trigger and follow the on-screen instructions and click Continue.

Setting the action

After clicking the + symbol a window will appear with different apps to connect to this Zap. Select Range if it is visible. If you do not see Range, type the name in the text field that reads ‘Search apps.’

Select an action event

• From the dropdown menu, select ‘Record Interaction.’ This will send the activity from Jenkins to Range once the trigger is registered.
• Click Continue.

Choose your Range account

• Select your Range account from the dropdown. You should see the email attached to your Range account here.

Note: You may be prompted to log in to your Range account. If this happens, log in and you will be able to continue setting up the Zap.

Set up the action

This is where you will decide which inputs are sent from Jenkins to Range. While some of these fields are optional, a few are required.

• Interaction Type (optional): STATUS_UPDATED
• Attachment Source ID: Build Number
• Provider: jenkins
• Provider Name: Jenkins
• Attachment Name: Name
• Build description (optional): Build Status
• Attachment URL: Build URL

Note: If you leave the setup process and later return you may find you are not able to edit these fields. Click Refresh fields and you will be able to edit them.

When you’re done, click Continue and then click Test and continue.

If the test is successful, click Turn on Zap and you’re all done!

The more apps you add, the better Check-ins get

Range Check-ins are simple, powerful status updates that keep your team more connected, focused, and productive no matter where they're working. When you add apps to Range, it makes writing Check-ins even faster and easier.
