Question

FogBugz features integration with plenty of other systems, but how do I integrate it with my favorite software?

Answer 1

Use the FogBugz API ;-)

Answer 2

Bugmonkey + ajax

For pulling information from outside systems into Fogbugz. This has the advantage of not requiring to modify source or write a full fledged plugin.

Answer 3

Here are some tips to get you started. For integration with other systems, you have two tools:

XML API

There is an XML API you can use if you want to customize the other system to talk to FogBugz.

Plugins

The plugin architecture lets you add and change functionality in FogBugz itself. You can use this to change the UI for users, and you can also use it to get FogBugz to talk to other systems.

For example, you can have it hit specific URLs on different events (this exists already in the URLTrigger plugin, though it isn't yet available for on demand accounts)

Or you can have FogBugz perform specialized tasks periodically in the background.

You can also use the architecture to create new externally accessible interfaces for another system to interact with (if the existing XML API doesn't do everything you need)

FogBugz On Demand

Plugin development needs to be done on a local installation of FogBugz. If you use FogBugz On Demand, you will need to request a plugin developer's pack. It provides 2 licenses and the FogBugz installer.
