Releases

Use the Releases automation at any stage in a workflow to automate release specific actions. These actions are only available to the releases entity.

While the majority of automations for a release can use the standard request entity, there are a few unique values that are only available to releases that require the use of these automations.

Suspend

Suspend automations will pause the workflow until a selected action is completed.

Available tasks

  • Wait for Release Type
    Use this Hornbill Automation to suspend the Business Process until a Release Type has been set on the Release record.
  • Wait for Request Schedule
    Use this node to pause the process and await the scheduling of the Release in the Change Calendar.

Update Request

The Update Request automation is used to update values on a release record.

Update Release Calendar

Available tasks

  • Add to Change Calendar
    Use this task to automatically add the release record to the Change Calendar. Adding a release to the change calendar involves updating the release’s schedule. This includes an option to enforce freeze periods to make sure releases are not scheduled during a freeze period. The schedule can also be added manually using the Schedule Action on the release record.
  • Remove from Change Calendar
    Use this task to automatically remove the release from the change calendar. This will clear the date values that have been added to the Schedule Action.
  • Release Type
    Use this task to update the Release Type. The Release Type is a field that is available only on release records. The default types include Emergency, Normal, and Standard. These values are stored in a Simple List called releaseRequestType that can be modified as needed.
