Setting up your first Automations workflow

Setting up your first Automation

Automations require the repository owner be an organization, not an individual. If you need to transfer a personal repository to an organization, please refer to
How to transfer ownership of a repo

Workflow files

Automations are defined in workflow.yml files.

Your repository needs one or more workflow files to trigger an Automation workflow run.

Note: you must put workflow files in .allspice/workflows/ folder

Creating your first workflow file

Follow along with this interactive demo to see how easy it is to create your first workflow.

1. Create a file in your repo .allspice/workflows/hello-world.yml
   1. Select repository→Add File→New File

1. Make sure the file is saved to /.allspice/workflows/your-file-name.yml
   

2. Copy the following example workflow into the web text editor:

name: Workflow-hello-world

on:
  push:
  issues:
    # Trigger on issue open, close, or reopen
    types: [opened, closed, reopened]

jobs:
  Job-Hello-World:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: "Print Hello World 🔎"
        run: echo "Hello World"

1. After you have pasted the code block, click the “Commit Changes” button to commit the workflow file to the repository.

Trigger your first Automation

The example above should trigger an Automation as soon as you commit the files.

This workflow specifies that Automations will trigger on push or issue open/close

To trigger this Automation again do one of the following:

• Push changes to the repo
• Open/New issue (This is the easiest to check)
• Close an issue
