Digital.ai Release allows you to extend its functionality by creating custom task types that seamlessly integrate with the release flow. Custom tasks are defined using a special XML configuration file called synthetic.xml and implemented using Python scripts. This powerful combination enables you to integrate with third-party tools, automate complex workflows, and create organization-specific tasks that appear natively in the Release user interface.
This topic explains how to define configuration objects in Release to store and manage settings used across multiple tasks. Examples include storing connection information for Jenkins, JIRA servers, or remote hosts for script execution.
This topic covers SSL options for HttpRequest, which are settings that enable secure communication between clients and servers.
This topic explains how to test and refine automated tasks such as scripts, webhooks, or custom tasks in Release.
A scheduled script can be used within a custom task script to check for the availability of a resource or to do something when conditions are satisfied, see Create custom task types.
Webhook event tasks are extensible automated tasks that wait for events from both webhooks endpoints and deployment provider webhook sources, and complete when the incoming event matches the specified condition.
