Task Automation and Scripting

Digital.ai Release lets you automate tasks with scripts. You can write scripts that check on external systems, run custom logic, and test your automated tasks before you start a release.

With the scheduling feature, a script can re-run itself at regular intervals to poll for external conditions, such as waiting for a build to finish on a CI server. The script keeps its state between runs, even if the server restarts. You can also test automated tasks during configuration, so you can confirm that your connections and scripts work before the release begins.
