Automations

Actions

Run tests

The Run tests action starts Buildprint test runs.

Choose either:

  • All tests: every active runnable test in the project.

  • Choose: selected individual tests and test folders.

Folders may include components for organization, but only runnable tests are started.

Branch selection

Choose which branch the tests should run against.

Branch event triggers can use values from the event:

  • Branch created: Created branch.

  • Branch removed: Removed branch.

  • Branch merged: Source branch or Target branch.

You can also choose a specific project branch.

Manual / API and Recurring triggers do not provide a branch parameter, so choose a project branch.

Send message

The Send message action sends a templated text message.

Destinations:

  • Email: one or more comma-separated email addresses.

  • Slack: a Slack channel connected to the workspace.

Branch-based triggers can insert template parameters into the message.

Available parameters:

  • Branch merged: {{branchFrom.id}}, {{branchFrom.name}}, {{branchTo.id}}, {{branchTo.name}}

  • Branch created: {{branch.id}}, {{branch.name}}

  • Branch removed: {{branch.id}}, {{branch.name}}

Manual / API, Live deployed, and Recurring triggers do not expose branch parameters.

Use Send preview to send a preview message.

Send webhook

The Send webhook action sends an HTTPS POST request.

Configure:

  • URL: must start with https://.

  • Headers: optional key-value headers.

Buildprint automatically includes Content-Type: application/json.

The payload includes:

  • event: trigger kind.

  • automation: automation ID and name.

  • project: project ID and app name.

  • params: trigger-specific parameters.

  • timestamp: ISO 8601 timestamp.

Use Send test request to send the preview payload to the configured URL.

Deploy agent

Deploy agent may appear as an early feature in some workspaces. Do not rely on it for production automations until Buildprint marks it available.

For now, use Manual / API automations, MCP, REST API, or a normal Buildprint agent conversation when you need to start agent work.
