Configuring Webhooks

Atlantis needs to receive Webhooks from your Git host so that it can respond to pull request events.

Prerequisites

See the instructions for your specific provider below.

GitHub/GitHub Enterprise

You can install your webhook at the organizationopen in new window level, or for each individual repository.

NOTE

If only some of the repos in your organization are to be managed by Atlantis, then you may want to only install on specific repos for now.

When authenticating as a GitHub App, Webhooks are automatically created and need no additional setup, beyond being installed to your organization/user account after creation. Refer to the GitHub App setup section for instructions on how to do so.

If you're installing on the organization, navigate to your organization's page and click Settings. If installing on a single repository, navigate to the repository home page and click Settings.

  • Select Webhooks or Hooks in the sidebar
  • Click Add webhook
  • set Payload URL to http://$URL/events (or https://$URL/events if you're using SSL) where $URL is where Atlantis is hosted. Be sure to add /events
  • double-check you added /events to the end of your URL.
  • set Content type to application/json
  • set Secret to the Webhook Secret you generated previously
    • NOTE If you're adding a webhook to multiple repositories, each repository will need to use the same secret.

Azure DevOps

Webhooks are installed at the team projectopen in new window level, but may be restricted to only fire based on events pertaining to specific reposopen in new window within the team project.

  • Navigate anywhere within a team project, ie: https://dev.azure.com/orgName/projectName/_git/repoName
  • Select Project settings in the lower-left corner
  • Select Service hooks
    • If you see the message "You do not have sufficient permissions to view or configure subscriptions." you need to ensure your user is a member of either the organization's "Project Collection Administrators" group or the project's "Project Administrators" group.
    • To add your user to the Project Collection Build Administrators group, navigate to the organization level, click Organization Settings and then click Permissions. You should be at https://dev.azure.com/<organization>/_settings/groups. Now click on the <organization>/Project Collection Administrators group and add your user as a member.
    • To add your user to the Project Administrators group, navigate to the project level, click Project Settings and then click Permissions. You should be at https://dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_settings/permissions. Now click on the <project>/Project Administrators group and add your user as a member.
  • Click Create subscription or the green plus icon to add a new webhook
  • Scroll to the bottom of the list and select Web Hooks
  • Click Next
  • Under "Trigger on this type of event", select Pull request created
    • Optionally, select a repository under Filters to restrict the scope of this webhook subscription to a specific repository
  • Click Next
  • Set URL to http://$URL/events where $URL is where Atlantis is hosted. Note that SSL, or https://$URL/events, is required if you set a Basic username and password for the webhook). Be sure to add /events
  • It is strongly recommended to set a Basic Username and Password for all webhooks
  • Leave all three drop-down menus for ...to send set to All
  • Resource version should be set to 1.0 for Pull request created and Pull request updated event types and 2.0 for Pull request commented on
  • NOTE If you're adding a webhook to multiple team projects or repositories (using filters), each repository will need to use the same basic username and password.
  • Click Finish

Repeat the process above until you have webhook subscriptions for the following event types that will trigger on all repositories Atlantis will manage:

  • Pull request created (you just added this one)

  • Pull request updated

  • Pull request commented on

  • See Next Steps

Next Steps

  • To verify that Atlantis is receiving your webhooks, create a test pull request to your repo.
  • You should see the request show up in the Atlantis logs at an INFO level.
  • You'll now need to configure Atlantis to add your Provider Credentials
