put-webhook¶

Description¶

Defines a webhook and returns a unique webhook URL generated by CodePipeline. This URL can be supplied to third party source hosting providers to call every time there’s a code change. When CodePipeline receives a POST request on this URL, the pipeline defined in the webhook is started as long as the POST request satisfied the authentication and filtering requirements supplied when defining the webhook. RegisterWebhookWithThirdParty and DeregisterWebhookWithThirdParty APIs can be used to automatically configure supported third parties to call the generated webhook URL.

Synopsis¶

  put-webhook
--webhook <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--webhook (structure)

The detail provided in an input file to create the webhook, such as the webhook name, the pipeline name, and the action name. Give the webhook a unique name that helps you identify it. You might name the webhook after the pipeline and action it targets so that you can easily recognize what it’s used for later.

name -> (string)

The name of the webhook.

targetPipeline -> (string)

The name of the pipeline you want to connect to the webhook.

targetAction -> (string)

The name of the action in a pipeline you want to connect to the webhook. The action must be from the source (first) stage of the pipeline.

filters -> (list)

A list of rules applied to the body/payload sent in the POST request to a webhook URL. All defined rules must pass for the request to be accepted and the pipeline started.

(structure)

The event criteria that specify when a webhook notification is sent to your URL.

jsonPath -> (string)

A JsonPath expression that is applied to the body/payload of the webhook. The value selected by the JsonPath expression must match the value specified in the MatchEquals field. Otherwise, the request is ignored. For more information, see Java JsonPath implementation in GitHub.

matchEquals -> (string)

The value selected by the JsonPath expression must match what is supplied in the MatchEquals field. Otherwise, the request is ignored. Properties from the target action configuration can be included as placeholders in this value by surrounding the action configuration key with curly brackets. For example, if the value supplied here is “refs/heads/{Branch}” and the target action has an action configuration property called “Branch” with a value of “master”, the MatchEquals value is evaluated as “refs/heads/master”. For a list of action configuration properties for built-in action types, see Pipeline Structure Reference Action Requirements .

authentication -> (string)

Supported options are GITHUB_HMAC, IP, and UNAUTHENTICATED.

For information about the authentication scheme implemented by GITHUB_HMAC, see Securing your webhooks on the GitHub Developer website.

IP rejects webhooks trigger requests unless they originate from an IP address in the IP range whitelisted in the authentication configuration.

UNAUTHENTICATED accepts all webhook trigger requests regardless of origin.

authenticationConfiguration -> (structure)

Properties that configure the authentication applied to incoming webhook trigger requests. The required properties depend on the authentication type. For GITHUB_HMAC, only the SecretToken property must be set. For IP, only the AllowedIPRange property must be set to a valid CIDR range. For UNAUTHENTICATED, no properties can be set.

AllowedIPRange -> (string)

The property used to configure acceptance of webhooks in an IP address range. For IP, only the AllowedIPRange property must be set. This property must be set to a valid CIDR range.

SecretToken -> (string)

The property used to configure GitHub authentication. For GITHUB_HMAC, only the SecretToken property must be set.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,targetPipeline=string,targetAction=string,filters=[{jsonPath=string,matchEquals=string},{jsonPath=string,matchEquals=string}],authentication=string,authenticationConfiguration={AllowedIPRange=string,SecretToken=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "name": "string",
  "targetPipeline": "string",
  "targetAction": "string",
  "filters": [
    {
      "jsonPath": "string",
      "matchEquals": "string"
    }
    ...
  ],
  "authentication": "GITHUB_HMAC"|"IP"|"UNAUTHENTICATED",
  "authenticationConfiguration": {
    "AllowedIPRange": "string",
    "SecretToken": "string"
  }
}

--tags (list)

The tags for the webhook.

(structure)

A tag is a key-value pair that is used to manage the resource.

key -> (string)

The tag’s key.

value -> (string)

The tag’s value.

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To create a webhook

The following put-webhook example creates a webhook for a GitHub version 1 source action. After you create the webhook, you must use the register-webhook-with-third-party command to register it.

aws codepipeline put-webhook \
    --cli-input-json file://webhook_json.json \
    --region "eu-central-1"

Contents of webhook_json.json:

{
    "webhook": {
        "name": "my-webhook",
        "targetPipeline": "pipeline_name",
        "targetAction": "source_action_name",
        "filters": [
            {
                "jsonPath": "$.ref",
                "matchEquals": "refs/heads/{Branch}"
            }
        ],
        "authentication": "GITHUB_HMAC",
        "authenticationConfiguration": {
            "SecretToken": "secret"
        }
    }
}

Output:

{
    "webhook": {
        "url": "https://webhooks.domain.com/trigger111111111EXAMPLE11111111111111111",

            "authenticationConfiguration": {
                "SecretToken": "secret"
            },
            "name": "my-webhook",
            "authentication": "GITHUB_HMAC",
            "targetPipeline": "pipeline_name",
            "targetAction": "Source",
            "filters": [
                {
                    "jsonPath": "$.ref",
                    "matchEquals": "refs/heads/{Branch}"
                }
            ]
        },
        "arn": "arn:aws:codepipeline:eu-central-1:123456789012:webhook:my-webhook"
    },
    "tags": [
        {
            "key": "Project",
            "value": "ProjectA"
        }
    ]
}
