Schedule Build Triggers

Build triggers allow you to start the builds automatically based on a schedule. This helps streamline workflows and reduce the need for manual intervention.

Set Trigger

Use Triggers Dashboard to configure and manage build triggers in a centralized location. This is helpful when managing multiple triggers across different builds or projects. You can also search triggers and filter them based on status or build configuration for faster access and organization.

1. Navigate to Triggers Dashboard from the sidebar.

   

2. Click Add Trigger.

   

3. Set the following values:

   • Build Configuration: Select the build to which this trigger will apply.
   • Trigger Name: Enter a meaningful name for the trigger.
   • Schedule Type: Choose how frequently the trigger should run. Available options include:
     • Daily: Runs the build once every day at a specified time.
     • Weekly: Runs the build on selected days of the week at a specified time.
     • Custom: Define a custom schedule using a cron expression.
   • Trigger Time: Enter the time at which the trigger should run.
   • Time Zone: Set the time zone for the scheduled trigger.
   • Enable Trigger: Toggle this ON to activate the trigger after configuration.

   

4. Click Add Trigger to add the trigger.

You can also configure triggers directly from the build interface under the Triggers tab. This is ideal when working within a specific build configuration and allows quick access to its associated triggers.

2. Go to the Triggers tab.

   

3. Click Add Trigger.

     • Daily: Runs the build once every day at a specified time.
     • Weekly: Runs the build on selected days of the week at a specified time.

   • Trigger Time: Enter the time at which the trigger should run.
   • Time Zone: Set the time zone for the scheduled trigger.

Filter Triggers

The Triggers Dashboard and the Triggers tab within each build configuration both include filters to help you quickly locate specific triggers and manage large or complex setups efficiently. You can filter the triggers based on:

• Trigger Name: Search by name to quickly find a specific trigger.

• Status: View triggers by state (All Statuses, Enabled, or Disabled).

• Schedule: Filter by schedule type (All Schedules, Daily, Weekly, or Custom).
