I have an azure pipeline that triggers on a branch commit to build the content of the branch and automatically create a release.
I tried to add the Pre-Deployement Approvals in the release stage conditions, and this sends a notification in slack channel where i can approve the releases.
This workflow works just fine. Today i wanted to experiment with jira and azure devops, so i intalled the integration Azure pipeline jira integration to keep track of the releases that belong to a specific ticket. This is the extensione i am using:
https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-jira
This works well and i can see all the releases in the ticket issue. But i was wondering if there is any way to enable the approval on a release and when this trigger to send a notification in jira to be approved instead of slack.
Thank you so much for anyone who can point me on the right direction if any.

I created a classic CI azure pipeline for a .net application present in GitHub repo and enabled continuous integration in triggers and also added 2 branches in branch filters. But when my team members made some changes and make commits, my pipeline is not triggering and build is not created. I can't understand what might be the problem as I'm new to azure pipelines
Here is some troubleshooting advices, and you can click this document for more detailed information:
Are you using the GitHub app connection to connect the pipeline to GitHub? If you are using a GitHub app connection, follow these steps:
Is the mapping set up properly between GitHub and Azure DevOps? Open a
pull request in your GitHub repository, and make the comment /azp
where. This reports back the Azure DevOps organization that the
repository is mapped to.
If no organizations are set up to build this repository using the app,
go to
https://github.com/<org_name>/<repo_name>/settings/installations and
complete the configuration of the app.
If a different Azure DevOps organization is reported, then someone has
already established a pipeline for this repo in a different
organization. We currently have the limitation that we can only map a
GitHub repo to a single DevOps org. Only the pipelines in the first
Azure DevOps org can be automatically triggered. To change the
mapping, uninstall the app from the GitHub organization, and
re-install it. As you re-install it, make sure to select the correct
organization when you are redirected to Azure DevOps.
Are you using OAuth or PAT to connect the pipeline to GitHub? If you are using a GitHub connection, follow these steps:
OAuth and PAT connections rely on webhooks to communicate updates to
Azure Pipelines. In GitHub, navigate to the settings for your
repository, then to Webhooks. Verify that the webhooks exist. Usually
you should see three webhooks - push, pull_request, and issue_comment.
If you don't, then you must re-create the service connection and
update the pipeline to use the new service connection.
Select each of the webhooks in GitHub and verify that the payload that
corresponds to the user's commit exists and was sent successfully to
Azure DevOps. You may see an error here if the event could not be
communicated to Azure DevOps.
Is your pipeline paused or disabled? Open the editor for the pipeline, and then select Settings to check. If your pipeline is
paused or disabled, then triggers do not work.
Have you used variables in defining the trigger or the paths? That is not supported.
Have you excluded the branches or paths to which you pushed your changes? Test by pushing a change to an included path in an included
branch. Note that paths in triggers are case-sensitive. Make sure that
you use the same case as those of real folders when specifying the
paths in triggers.
Updates:
You don't need to change webhooks in github, what you need to do is that go to github Settings -> Webhooks, check whether there are "Recent Deliveries". If there are errors in recent deliveries, the cause of the question is indicated.
If Azure DevOps and GitHub are properly connected, GitHub will automatically generate Webhooks. As shown below:
The content of "Payload URL" is:
https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/public/hooks/externalEvents?publisherId=github&channelId={channelId}&api-version=6.1-preview
Please note that a GitHub repository can only connect to one Azure DevOps organization. If you have connected to more than one organizations, keep the only one you are using currently.
In DevOps click Pipelines on the left-hand side navigation
Select your pipeline.
Click Edit
Then in the new window pane (top left), you'll see a tab for triggers.
This is where you can configure the continuous integration settings to trigger builds on push / pull requests etc.
Here's an example
Continues integration is enabled for the development branch, thus any push to that branch will trigger a build.
I need an email notification on approval check in the new azure devops multi-stage pipeline to the approver. How do I go about setting that up?
Email notification on new azure multi-stage pipeline
For this issue, it is currently not achievable in azure devops . This issue has been reported as a bug in our Developer Community forum :Notification not working when using approval checks in YAML pipelines
This is a known gap with multi-stage pipelines that product group are working on. It is now under consideration.You can vote and comment in that case to increase the priority of the issue. If there is any progress, you will be notified in time.
I have a repo which has two branches:
develop (repo's default branch)
master
Code within the develop branch is known to be releasable as an "alpha" version, while code within master is known to be production ready.
Currently, the develop branch's policies requires that a CI build must successfully complete for the PR to merge. That build will create NuGet package artifacts with a prerelease tag (alpha-####).
A release pipeline is responsible for taking these packages and publishing them to an internal NuGet feed.
What I'm trying to achieve is to have the release pipeline triggered automatically when the PR is completed, not whenever the CI build succeeds.
I expected the "pull request trigger" to do just that, but much to my surprise the trigger won't acknowledge the PR's status and have the release pipeline start as soon as the CI build is completed.
This means that if the PR gets rejected for whatever reason, a NuGet may still be deployed to my feed!
What am I doing wrong here? How come the pull request trigger doesn't work any differently than the continuous deployment trigger? What's it's purpose then? :/
The continuous deployment trigger means, if you specify certain types of artifacts in a release pipeline, you can enable continuous deployment. This instructs Azure Pipeline to create new releases automatically when it detects new artifacts are available.
The Pull request trigger means, once a pull request release is configured, anytime a pull request is raised for the protected branch, a release is triggered automatically, deployed to the specified environments.
So these two triggers are different and more detailed information you can refer to here.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/deploy-pull-request-builds?view=azure-devops
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/triggers?view=azure-devops
And if you still want to deploy your Nuget after a PR completed, I recommend you to create a new build pipeline and enable the Continuous integration for it. Then set this build pipeline as the Release pipeline Artifact.
Because when a PR completed, it will create a new commit to the target branch and this new commit will trigger the build pipeline, and the build pipeline will trigger the release pipeline to deploy the Nuget as your expected.
Not sure if anyone's still looking for a solution to this over a year after the fact, but I was so I wrote an Azure Function app to receive pull request close webhooks from DevOps and translate those events into new releases.
You can find it here on my github: https://github.com/GravlLift/OnPullRequest
Feel free to fork it to fit whatever your individual needs are.
I've been using Azure DevOps for a while now, and CI has been working great. I commit to my branch, and it kicks off a branch automatically.
This has all of the sudden just stopped working.
I have tried all of the ideas from this question:
VSTS continuous integration triggers not working
But I cannot get it to trigger the build automatically.
Please help!
I faced the same issue and the fix was to delete unwanted GitHub service connections in 'Project Settings'. Multiple service connections using oauth and azure pipeline to same GitHub account was present. Once it is removed, pipelines were getting triggered automatically.
Azure DevOps CI trigger is not working even though the setting is set
Some times service event( https://status.dev.azure.com/ ) in Azure DevOps may cause this issue. Besides, if there is [skip ci] in commit message, the build will skip the CI trigger.
Check the document Skipping CI for individual commits for some more details.
Besides, if it still does not work now, try to manually Queue a build, then commit to to your branch again and check if it works for you. If not, try to create a new build pipeline to check if still have this issue.
Hope this helps.
I'm using a build policy on one of my Azure DevOps git branches.
Is there any way of requiring a manually triggered branch build policy be run again if the source branch is updated?
My branch policy is set to Manual trigger. We use Manual instead of Automatic to reduce the number of builds (we use self hosted build server) running on our CI server as we typically open PR's early to provide feedback and facilitate conversation around code.
If the trigger was set to automatic, then any time source branch is updated a new build is queued. This isn't case with Manual. I had situation where build policy passed but then a further commit was made to branch and the reviewer approved. But the build was not manually triggered again and the last commit & push introduced a bug. I'd like the build validation policy to either reset or fail every time the source branch is updated similar to how code reviewer votes are reset after a push.
Is this possible?
I do not think this is currently possible, it has been raised on the Developer community as a feature request / issue, so I would encourage you to up-vote this here.
A solution for our scenario (too many builds were being queued, because Code Reviews come back with changes) was to use Pull Request drafts.
