# Create Trigger
Generate Harness Trigger YAML and push to Harness via MCP.
## Instructions
1. **Identify trigger type** - Webhook (Git events), Scheduled (cron), Artifact (registry updates), or Manifest (Helm chart updates)
2. **Configure conditions** - Branch filters, payload conditions, cron expression, or artifact path
3. **Generate YAML** using the templates below, referencing the target pipeline
4. **Create via MCP** using `harness_create` with resource_type `trigger`
5. **Verify webhook registration** - For webhook triggers, confirm the webhook is registered in the Git provider
## Trigger Types
- **Webhook** - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Custom
- **Scheduled** - Cron-based scheduling
- **Artifact** - Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, Nexus
- **Manifest** - Helm chart updates
## Webhook Trigger (GitHub)
```yaml
trigger:
name: PR Trigger
identifier: pr_trigger
orgIdentifier: default
projectIdentifier: my_project
pipelineIdentifier: ci_pipeline
source:
type: Webhook
spec:
type: Github
spec:
type: PullRequest
spec:
connectorRef: github_connector
autoAbortPreviousExecutions: true
payloadConditions:
- key: targetBranch
operator: Equals
value: main
headerConditions: []
jexlCondition: ""
actions:
- Open
- Reopen
- Synchronize
inputYaml: |
pipeline:
identifier: ci_pipeline
properties:
ci:
codebase:
build:
type: PR
spec:
number: <+trigger.prNumber>
```
### GitHub Event Types
- `Push` - Code pushed to branch
- `PullRequest` - PR events (Open, Close, Reopen, Synchronize, Edit)
- `IssueComment` - PR comments (Create, Edit, Delete)
- `Release` - Release events (Create, Publish, Edit)
## Webhook Trigger (GitLab)
```yaml
trigger:
name: GitLab Push
identifier: gitlab_push
pipelineIdentifier: ci_pipeline
source:
type: Webhook
spec:
type: Gitlab
spec:
type: Push
spec:
connectorRef: gitlab_connector
payloadConditions:
- key: ref
operator: Contains
value: main
```
## Scheduled (Cron) Trigger
```yaml
trigger:
name: Nightly Build
identifier: nightly_build
orgIdentifier: default
projectIdentifier: my_project
pipelineIdentifier: ci_pipeline
source:
type: Scheduled
spec:
type: Cron
spec:
expression: "0 2 * * *" # 2 AM daily
inputYaml: |
pipeline:
identifier: ci_pipeline
properties:
ci:
codebase:
build:
type: branch
spec:
branch: main
```
Cron format: `<minute> <hour> <day-of-month> <month> <day-of-week>`
## Artifact Trigger (Docker Registry)
```yaml
trigger:
name: New Image Trigger
identifier: new_image
pipelineIdentifier: deploy_pipeline
source:
type: Artifact
spec:
type: DockerRegistry
spec:
connectorRef: dockerhub
imagePath: myorg/myimage
tag: <+trigger.artifact.build>
inputYaml: |
pipeline:
identifier: deploy_pipeline
stages:
- stage:
identifier: deploy
spec:
service:
serviceRef: my_service
```
### Artifact Source Types
- `DockerRegistry` - Docker Hub
- `Ecr` - AWS ECR
- `Gcr` - Google Container Registry
- `Acr` - Azure Container Registry
- `Nexus3Registry` - Nexus
- `AmazonS3` - S3 artifacts
## Creating via MCP
```
Call MCP tool: harness_create
Parameters:
resource_type: "trigger"
org_id: "<organization>"
project_id: "<project>"
body: <trigger YAML>
```
To list existing triggers:
```
Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
resource_type: "trigger"
org_id: "<organization>"
project_id: "<project>"
```
## Payload Conditions
Filter triggers by webhook payload:
```yaml
payloadConditions:
- key: targetBranch
operator: Equals # Equals, NotEquals, In, NotIn, StartsWith, EndsWith, Contains, Regex
value: main
- key: sourceBranch
operator: StartsWith
value: feature/
```
Common keys: `sourceBranch`, `targetBranch`, `ref`, `action`, `tag`
## Examples
- "Create a GitHub PR trigger for CI" - Webhook trigger with PullRequest type
- "Set up nightly builds at 2 AM" - Scheduled trigger with cron
- "Trigger deploy when new Docker image is pushed" - Artifact trigger with DockerRegistry
- "Create a release trigger for tags" - Webhook with Push type, tag filter
## Performance Notes
- Verify payload conditions match actual webhook payloads from the Git provider.
- For cron triggers, double-check the expression — cron uses UTC timezone.
- Confirm the target pipeline identifier and inputYaml match the pipeline's expected inputs.
## Troubleshooting
### Trigger Not Firing
- Verify webhook is registered in Git provider
- Check payload conditions match actual payload
- Ensure connector has correct permissions
- Test with `harness_get` on the trigger to verify config
### Duplicate Executions
- Enable `autoAbortPreviousExecutions` for PR triggers
- Check for overlapping trigger conditions
### Cron Not Running
- Verify cron expression syntax (5 fields, UTC timezone)
- Check pipeline identifier is correct
- Ensure trigger is enabled

Skill purpose: Generate Harness Trigger YAML for automated pipeline execution and create via MCP.
