Azure-devops-docs: Triggering a build from a webhook

[falconmick]

I have a statically rendered GatsbyJs app that I want to trigger deployment for when my CMS service prismic sends out it's webhook on content changing as my static files don't magically update!

Is there any way to trigger a pipeline via a webhook?

@falconmick, If it can't you could write a Azure Function which is triggered by the webhook, that can call the Azure DevOps REST API to trigger the build, issue is how you get the PAT in there securely.

@falconmick by any chance did you manage to find a solution to this? am currently facing the same problem

@aniketprashar Any chance this happened. I'm in the same boat. Trying to trigger an Azure DevOps build from a webhook via GraphCMS.

I get that I will need to build a function app. Just not sure how to actually get the build churning from the function app.

@aniketprashar @sheldonj I also needed this and hacked together an example in my fork of https://github.com/mcdafydd/go-azuredevops/tree/master/examples/webhook. This example uses a "code pushed" event webhook from an Azure Devops team project and then queues a build in that same project. You could pull the Builds.Queue() portion out of the code and give it a try. One thing to note is that you need to supply the build ID in the API calls.

The az cli also supports triggering a build (az pipelines build queue -h) It does a GET request to pull the build ID number from the supplied name first.

Best of luck!

I think the webhook resource type would do this now https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/resources?view=azure-devops&tabs=schema

@danquirk Thanks a lot for pointing this out. Works for me!
