What you need

1. Hipchat account
2. Trello account
3. A bot account which could be added to your Trello boards could monitor all notifications
4. I have tested it on ruby 1.9.2-p320, not sure other versions work.
5. A ubuntu machine (aws-like) which can run your cron, or a loop.

Install

NOTE: Trello doesn't have webhook, so this works on polling method.

1. Run bundle install

2. Create your trello app - trello api

3. Create a copy of config.yml.sample as config.yml, copy the above key here.

4. Create a bot user and add it to the board.

5. Get authorization token for the bot user

   https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=YOUR_APP_ID&name=Markupwand&expiration=never&response_type=token&scope=read,write,account

6. Save the auth token in config.yml

7. Run the fetch_loop.rb in commandline, or just add an entry in cron
