Payload

A CDS Workflow can be launched:

manually, user can enter a Payload
by webhooks / repository webhooks, payload contains the value sent by initiator of the hook
scheduler, the payload contains the value of the default payload. You can edit the default payload on the root pipeline
(on roadmap) listener, as a Kafka listener. The payload will contain the content of the Kafka message

A payload is a JSON value. You can use it inside your CDS Jobs.

Example:

{
  "akey": "valueOfKey",
  "subkey": {
    "akey": "value"
  }
}

Two variables are available inside your jobs:

{{.akey}}

and

{{.subkey.akey}}

Choose a git branch in the payload

If an application attached to the pipeline context is linked to a Git repository, you can set git.branch attribute to a branch of your choice:
