Overview

What are GitHub Actions?

GitHub Actions is a powerful workflow automation tool provided by GitHub that allows you to automate, customize, and execute various tasks within your GitHub repository. It provides a flexible and customizable way to automate your software development workflows from continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) to code testing, building, and deployment.

Itential GitHub Actions

An Itential account is required to get credentials needed to configure the Github Actions. In order to utilize this action, you would need to have an active Itential Automation Platform (IAP) / Itential Cloud instance.

If you are an existing customer, please contact your Itential account team for additional details. For new customers interested in an Itential trial, please click here to request one.

Itential GitHub Actions integrates with GitHub and IAP to automate specific actions, such as running an IAP automation, triggering an automation, and checking job status.

To access Itential GitHub Actions, search for them via GitHub Marketplace. There are currently two Actions available: Itential Automation Start Action and Itential Automation Get Status. Both Actions are compatible with Javascript and Docker containers.
