OpenShiftContainer Platform webhooks currently only support their analogous versions of the push event for each of the Git based source code managementsystems (SCMs). All other event types are ignored.

When the push events are processed, a confirmation is made as to whether the branch reference inside the event matches the branch reference in the correspondingBuildConfig. If they match, then the exact commit reference noted in the webhook event is checked out for the OpenShift Container Platform build. If they do not match, no build is triggered.


For all webhooks, you must define a Secret with a key named WebHookSecretKey and thevalue being the value to be supplied when invoking the webhook. The webhook definitionmust then reference the secret. The secret ensures the uniqueness of the URL, preventingothers from triggering the build. The value of the key will be compared to the secret providedduring the webhook invocation.


GitHub webhooks handle the callmade by GitHub when a repository is updated. When defining the trigger, you mustspecify a secret, which will be part of the URL you supply to GitHub whenconfiguring the webhook.


The secret used in the webhook trigger configuration is not the same as secretfield you encounter when configuring webhook in GitHub UI. The former is to makethe webhook URL unique and hard to predict, the latter is an optional string fieldused to create HMAC hex digest of the body, which is sent as an X-Hub-Signatureheader.


GitLab webhookshandle the call made by GitLab when a repository is updated. As with the GitHubtriggers, you must specify a secret. The following example isa trigger definition YAML within the BuildConfig:


Bitbucket webhookshandle the call made by Bitbucket when a repository is updated. Similar to theprevious triggers, you must specify a secret. The following example is atrigger definition YAML within the BuildConfig:


Generic webhooks are invoked from any system capable of making a web request.As with the other webhooks, you must specify a secret, which will be part ofthe URL that the caller must use to trigger the build. The secret ensures theuniqueness of the URL, preventing others from triggering the build. Thefollowing is an example trigger definition YAML within the BuildConfig:


The arguments are the same as the previous example with the addition of a headerand a payload. The -H argument sets the Content-Type header toapplication/yaml or application/json depending on your payload format.The --data-binary argument is used to send a binary payload with newlinesintact with the POST request.


OpenShift Container Platform permits builds to be triggered via the generic webhook even ifan invalid request payload is presented (for example, invalid content type,unparsable or invalid content, and so on). This behavior is maintained forbackwards compatibility. If an invalid request payload is presented,OpenShift Container Platform returns a warning in JSON format as part of its HTTP 200 OKresponse.


Image change triggers allow your build to be automatically invoked when a newversion of an upstream image is available. For example, if a build is based ontop of a RHEL image, then you can trigger that build to run any time the RHELimage changes. As a result, the application image is always running on thelatest RHEL base image.


This defines the image stream that is tied to a container image repositorylocated at //ruby-20-centos7. The is defined as a service with the name docker-registryrunning in OpenShift Container Platform.


When using an image change trigger for the strategy image stream, the generatedbuild is supplied with an immutable Docker tag that points to the latest imagecorresponding to that tag. This new image reference will be used by the strategywhen it executes for the build.


You can pause an image change trigger to allow multiple changes on the referencedimage stream before a build is started. You can also set the paused attributeto true when initially adding an ImageChangeTrigger to a BuildConfig to preventa build from being immediately triggered.


In addition to setting the image field for all Strategy types, for custombuilds, the OPENSHIFT_CUSTOM_BUILD_BASE_IMAGE environment variable is checked.If it does not exist, then it is created with the immutable image reference. Ifit does exist then it is updated with the immutable image reference.


If a build is triggered due to a webhook trigger or manual request,the build that is created uses the resolved from theImageStream referenced by the Strategy. This ensures that buildsare performed using consistent image tags for ease of reproduction.


Image streams that point to container images inv1container registries only trigger a build once when theimagestream tag becomes available and not on subsequent image updates. This is dueto the lack of uniquely identifiable images in v1 container registries.


Configuration change triggers currently only work when creating a newBuildConfig. In a future release, configuration change triggers will also beable to launch a build whenever a BuildConfig is updated.


Use a Manual trigger if you want to manually launch a task but cannot use the Launch Task or Trigger Now buttons because you have to set or override one or more variables. For example, you might choose to use a Manual trigger to launch a "generic" Workflow that you run occasionally with a slight variation in specific details. In this case, you will launch the Workflow and pass in the appropriate details using variables.


You can use the Manual trigger to set values to pre-existing variables or create new variables. The variable values you enter here override all others. However, the change in value only persists while this launched task instance(s) is running. Future executions of the task(s), unless they are launched by a Manual trigger, will use the standard methods for resolving user-defined variables.


From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Triggers > Manual Triggers. The Manual Triggers list displays.


To the right of the list, Manual Trigger Details for a new Manual trigger displays.





If the Business Service Visibility Restricted Universal Controller system property is set to true, depending on your assigned (or inherited) Permissions or Roles, Business Services available for selection may be restricted.


If you click Trigger Now... for an Enabled trigger that does not have an assigned Execution User, the trigger will launch its task(s) under the context of the Enabled By user.


If you click Trigger Now... for a Disabled trigger that does not have an assigned Execution User, the trigger will launch its task(s) under the context of your user name and ID.


If you click Trigger Now... for an Enabled or Disabled trigger that has an assigned Execution User, the trigger will launch its task(s) under the context of the assigned Execution User.


If you want to preserve information about the variables you are setting or overriding (the name and value), or if you want to specify default values, use the Variables tab. If you set up a Manual trigger with default values in the Variables tab, any values you set using the Trigger With Variables popup window override the values in the Variables tab. Each method is described below.


Select Trigger Now With Variables. A Trigger Now pop-up window displays that lets you set or override the values of up to 10 variables that will be used in the execution of the task(s) named in the Manual trigger. These can be existing or new variables. Any existing variables are automatically populated in the window.


Click Submit to launch the tasks named in the trigger. The variable information in the Trigger Now pop-up is passed into the task instance(s) where referenced and the contents of the pop-up are deleted.


I have created a JIRA automation to generate a QA Task based on the parent Story status - if the Parent reaches a certain status, it generates a QA Task and puts it in a starting status of the workflow.


As I know that automation cannot trigger another automation, I want to create manually triggered automation to initiate a change from starting status to mirror the same status of a Parent story (skipping the need to push it manually through the whole workflow).


The relation between those is set to Parent-Child (where Story is Parent, and QA Task is Child). Everything I try results in setting the starting status on QA Task (so e.g. from TODO to TODO), or results in an error that destination status cannot be reached.


Thank you for such a clear explanation. I tried to mirror what you have provided (by the way, it is very impressive what you can do in JIRA). As my knowledge using smart values is close to none, I had some struggles even to get the config running, but in the end, it goes - unfortunately throwing errors, due to an invalid operator. Please find the following:


Just to answer your first question - when I created automation for that QA Task approach, I struggled a bit with issue status transitions (the same scenario - upon the QA Task being created, move it to a certain status in the workflow). I found one of the Atlassian Community answers (that was the top answer in this subject) that was pointing exactly to this limitation - JIRA automation cannot trigger another JIRA automation.


According to your message, Automation A, can trigger Automation B - but that never worked for me. It just looks like automation is not registering issue creation as a trigger and then it skips it - I have no particular example now except for the following audit log:


As you can see, I had an automation rule triggered by the creation of the issue type "QA Task" - given your message, when Parent Story is set to Ready in XXX status, that creates QA Task. As the Issue type meets the condition, that should trigger Automation B to transition issue status. Every config change was done after a few trials per adjustment to automation - there were not even lines about no actions performed except for one, that I created manually (another issue type).
