Webhooks (experimental)

Looking to gather metrics for your pipelines? Gain insight into run durations and failures? Maybe you want to send Slack or Discord notifications? With our webhooks, all of these are possible!

When the notifier.webhookUrl setting is configured with an HTTPS URL, and moon is running in a CI environment, moon will POST a payload to this endpoint for every event in our pipeline.

Payload structure​

Every webhook event is posted with the following request body, known as a payload.

  • type (string) - The type of event.
  • environment (object | null) - Information about the current CI/CD pipeline environment.
  • event (object) - The event specific payload. View each event for an example of their structure.
  • createdAt (string) - When the event was created, as a UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 (RFC 3339) format.
  • uuid (string) - A unique identifier for all webhooks in the current run batch.
{
  "type": "...",
  "environment": "...",
  "event": {
    // ...
  },
  "createdAt": "...",
  "uuid": "..."
}

The uuid field can be used to differentiate concurrently running pipelines!

Pipeline environment​

When webhooks are sent from a CI/CD pipeline, we attempt to include information about the environment under the environment field. If information could not be detected, this field is null, otherwise it contains these fields.

  • baseBranch (string | null) - When a merge/pull request, the target (base) branch, otherwise null.
  • branch (string) - When a merge/pull request, the source (head) branch, otherwise the triggering branch.
  • id (string) - ID of the current pipeline instance.
  • provider (string) - Name of your CI/CD provider. GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, etc.
  • requestId (string | null) - The ID of the merge/pull request.
  • requestUrl (string | null) - Link to the merge/pull request.
  • revision (string) - The HEAD commit, revision, tag, ref, etc, that triggered the pipeline.
  • url (string | null) - Link to the current pipeline, when available.

Events​

Pipeline​

Runs actions within moon using a robust dependency graph. Is triggered when using moon run.

pipeline.started​

Triggered when the pipeline has been created but before actions have started to run.

This event includes the number of actions registered within the pipeline, but does not provide detailed information about the actions. Use the action.* events for this.

{
  "type": "pipeline.started",
  "createdAt": "...",
  "environment": "...",
  "event": {
    "actionsCount": 15
  },
  "uuid": "..."
}

pipeline.finished​

Triggered when the pipeline has finished running all actions, with aggregated counts based on final status.

This event is not triggered if the pipeline crashes (this does not include actions that have failed, as those are legitimate runs). Use the pipeline.aborted event if you want to also catch crashes.

{
  "type": "pipeline.finished",
  "createdAt": "...",
  "environment": "...",
  "event": {
    "cachedCount": 10,
    "baselineDuration": {
      "secs": 60,
      "nanos": 3591693
    },
    "duration": {
      "secs": 120,
      "nanos": 3591693
    },
    "estimatedSavings": {
      "secs": 60,
      "nanos": 0
    },
    "failedCount": 1,
    "passedCount": 4
  },
  "uuid": "..."
}

pipeline.aborted​

Triggered when the pipeline has crashed for unknown reasons, or had to abort as a result of a critical action failing.

{
  "type": "pipeline.aborted",
  "createdAt": "...",
  "environment": "...",
  "event": {
    "error": "..."
  },
  "uuid": "..."
}

Actions​

Actions are "jobs" within the pipeline that are executed topologically.

action.started​

Triggered when an action within the pipeline has started to run.

      ]
    }
  },
