Overview

Jabber contact points are used to receive notifications via instant messages. The Jabber protocol was chosen as it is both open and decentralised. This means that many implementations are available, and it is esay to set up your own jabber server rather than rely on a centralised server run by a third party.

Configuration

name

A descriptive name for the contact point, used to identify it in the web interface. This field is required.

Examples

work IM

username

The username for the Jabber account to send notifications to. Note that this is usually of the form:

<user>@<host>

Due to the decentralised nature of Jabber, the host where the account resides is specified as part of the account name.
