CreateWebhook - AWS CodeBuild

CreateWebhook

For an existing AWS CodeBuild build project that has its source code stored in a GitHub or Bitbucket repository, enables AWS CodeBuild to start rebuilding the source code every time a code change is pushed to the repository.

Important

If you enable webhooks for an AWS CodeBuild project, and the project is used as a build step in CodePipeline, then two identical builds are created for each commit. One build is triggered through webhooks, and one through CodePipeline. Because billing is on a per-build basis, you are billed for both builds. Therefore, if you are using CodePipeline, we recommend that you disable webhooks in AWS CodeBuild. In the AWS CodeBuild console, clear the Webhook box. For more information, see step 5 in Change a Build Project's Settings.

Request Syntax

{ "branchFilter": "string", "buildType": "string", "filterGroups": [ [ { "excludeMatchedPattern": boolean, "pattern": "string", "type": "string" } ] ], "projectName": "string" }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

projectName

The name of the AWS CodeBuild project.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: [A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9\-_]{1,254}

Required: Yes

branchFilter

A regular expression used to determine which repository branches are built when a webhook is triggered. If the name of a branch matches the regular expression, then it is built. If branchFilter is empty, then all branches are built.

Note

It is recommended that you use filterGroups instead of branchFilter.

Type: String

Required: No

buildType

Specifies the type of build this webhook will trigger.

Type: String

Valid Values: BUILD | BUILD_BATCH

Required: No

filterGroups

An array of arrays of WebhookFilter objects used to determine which webhooks are triggered. At least one WebhookFilter in the array must specify EVENT as its type.

For a build to be triggered, at least one filter group in the filterGroups array must pass. For a filter group to pass, each of its filters must pass.

Type: Array of arrays of WebhookFilter objects

Required: No

Response Syntax

{ "webhook": { "branchFilter": "string", "buildType": "string", "filterGroups": [ [ { "excludeMatchedPattern": boolean, "pattern": "string", "type": "string" } ] ], "lastModifiedSecret": number, "payloadUrl": "string", "secret": "string", "url": "string" } }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
