Configure your release definition to post deployment information to Work items.
1. Open Pipelines>Releases, choose to edit your release pipeline, then choose Options>Integrations.
To automatically add release information for a pipeline to work items associated with a Git commit, you need to set up a service hook. Service hooks are a feature of Azure DevOps that allow you to trigger external services or applications when certain events occur in your DevOps project.
The service hook you need to set up is the Release Created event. This event is triggered when a new release is created in your pipeline. You can configure the service hook to send information about the release to work items associated with the Git commit that triggered the pipeline.
To set up the service hook, follow these steps:
- Open your Azure DevOps project.
- Navigate to the project settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner.
- Select Service hooks under the Integrations section.
- Click on Create Subscription.
- Select the Release Created event from the list of available events.
- Configure the service hook to send information about the release to work items associated with the Git commit by selecting the appropriate action and providing any necessary details.
- Save the service hook.
Once the service hook is set up, release information for the pipeline will be automatically added to work items associated with the Git commit that triggered the pipeline.
