Summary

Harness Triggers automate CI/CD pipelines in response to Git events such as PUSH, CREATE, and ALL, enabling event-driven deployments and the practice of building or deploying to a target environment with every commit. This automation is achieved through predefined conditions and GitHub webhooks, which streamline the deployment process. Triggers act as a mechanism to initiate a pipeline build or deployment based on Git events, and are categorized into conditions related to Pull Request, Issue Comment, and Push events. These conditions can be further specified to trigger pipelines when certain patterns are matched, such as branch names or file changes in specific directories, which is especially useful in a monorepo setup. Harness utilizes the GitHub events API to configure webhooks, ensuring payloads are sent only for specified events, thus allowing for customized pipeline triggers based on Git events and payload conditions. Users can seek additional support and information from the Harness community forums or Slack channels dedicated to continuous delivery and integration.
