Jenkins build notifications to your phone.

Why Nerve for Jenkins

Jenkins email is easy to ignore. Nerve gives you an encrypted push signal from the pipeline itself. The sender DSN can only send to one pipe; it cannot read message history or run commands.

Jenkinsfile: notify on failure

pipeline {
  agent any
  environment {
    NERVE_DSN = credentials('nerve-dsn')
  }
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps { sh 'make build' }
    }
    stage('Test') {
      steps { sh 'make test' }
    }
  }
  post {
    failure {
      sh '''
        go install github.com/nerve-ink/nerve-cli/cmd/nerve@latest
        echo "Jenkins failed: ${JOB_NAME} #${BUILD_NUMBER}" | nerve send --severity critical
      '''
    }
  }
}

Notify on every build result

post {
  always {
    sh '''
      go install github.com/nerve-ink/nerve-cli/cmd/nerve@latest
      echo "Jenkins ${currentBuild.currentResult}: ${JOB_NAME} #${BUILD_NUMBER}" | nerve send
    '''
  }
}

Deployment alerts

Send a dedicated signal when production deploys finish or fail.

stage('Deploy production') {
  steps {
    sh './deploy.sh production'
  }
  post {
    success {
      sh 'echo "Production deploy OK: ${GIT_COMMIT}" | nerve send'
    }
    failure {
      sh 'echo "Production deploy FAILED: ${JOB_NAME}" | nerve send --severity critical'
    }
  }
}

Store the DSN as a Jenkins credential

Create a secret text credential named nerve-dsn. Keep the DSN out of your Jenkinsfile and logs.
