The screen below will be displayed, so check if there are any discrepancies in the settings.

Select the red frame and copy the Webhook URL.

Move to the Webhook screen and log in.

The message can be changed, so enter it as you like.

Here is an example of a message.
To notify Chatwork of Backlog comments, Backlog output is required, so be sure to select it.
{{Comment}} ← This display is the output.

Advanced: Workflow between Backlog and Chatwork

This time, we set up a workflow where "a comment is added to an issue in Backlog" → "notification is sent to Chatwork".
There are other templates using Backlog and Chatwork, so let me introduce them.

First is "How to create a task in Backlog and send an email in Outlook when new data is updated in Notion".

You can create it using the following flow.

1. When the database is created or updated
2. Add tasks
3. Send to Outlook

Since this involves using three different apps, you would normally have to enter data multiple times.
However, by automating this process, you can complete app operations and data entry in one go.
It even sends emails for you, so there's no waste at all!

The next template is "How to notify Chatwork of Google Calendar events at a specified time every day".

You can create it with the following flow.

1. Start at 8 AM every day
2. Retrieve a list of today's schedule
3. Notify Chatwork

It's recommended for those who have a set daily routine, as it notifies Chatwork of your schedule at a fixed time every day.
By getting the latest schedule, it becomes easier to adjust your plans.
