Installation
Install redmine_messenger plugin for Redmine
cd $REDMINE_ROOT
git clone git://github.com/alphanodes/redmine_messenger.git plugins/redmine_messenger
Restart Redmine, and you should see the plugin show up in the Plugins page. Under the configuration options, set the Messenger API URL to the URL for an Incoming WebHook integration in your Messenger account and also set the Messenger Channel to the channel's handle (be careful, this is not the channel's display name visible to users, you can find each channel's handle by navigating inside the channel and clicking the down-arrow and selecting view info). See also the next two sections for advanced and custom routing options.
Customized Routing
You can also route messages to different channels on a per-project basis. To
do this, create a project custom field (Administration > Custom fields > Project)
named Messenger Channel. If no custom channel is defined for a project, the parent
project will be checked (or the default will be used). To prevent all notifications
from being sent for a project, set the custom channel to -.
