FlexDeploy's built-in Continuous Integration capabilities allow developers to setup various triggers for builds & deployment workflow executions. On the Project's Continuous Integration tab click on the Create button and select Trigger Type to create triggers.

The following trigger types can be created to achieve Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.

Poll SCM Trigger

Use this trigger type to poll source control system and build automatically if any change is found.

Select the Build Environment, Stream and specify the interval minutes to Poll SCM for changes.
Polling from SCM is supported for SubVersion, Git, Microsoft TFS and CVS SCM Types.
- For Git, the Git executable must be installed on FlexDeploy server and it must be accessible in PATH. The Git executable version must be 1.7.9 or higher.
Click the Save button to save the changes.

Project must be configured with build workflow & instance as well as SCM Type must be either SubVersion, Git, Microsoft TFS or CVS for using Poll SCM trigger type.

FlexDeploy will automatically initiate build request when change is found in SCM Repository in comparison to previous version of the same project stream. If build work requires inputs, you can configure inputs as well on this screen.

Scheduled Build

Use this trigger type to schedule builds at a certain time using cron expression. Select Build Environment, Stream & enter values for cron expression, project build workflow inputs (if any).

Use plus icon button to utilize sample cron expressions, clear the contents of the Cron Expression input before using a sample expression. This trigger type is useful if you have a requirement to schedule builds at certain time of day, like 7:00 am.
Click the Save button to save the changes.

Scheduled Deploy

Use this trigger type to schedule deployments to an environment at a certain time(s) using a cron expression. Select the Deploy Environment, Stream & enter values for cron expression, project deploy workflow inputs (if any) and flex fields (if any).

Use plus icon button to utilize sample cron expressions, clear the contents of the Cron Expression input before using a sample expression. This trigger type is useful if you have requirement to deploy at certain time of day, like 8:00 pm, to a Development environment.
Click the Save button to save the changes.

Post Build Trigger

Use this trigger type to trigger a Deployment after any successful Build of this project. This will be fired immediately after any kind of successful build (Manual or Scheduled or Poll SCM Trigger).

Select the Deploy Environment, Stream & enter values for project deploy workflow inputs (if any) and flex fields (if any).
Click the Save button to save the changes.

You can use these triggers in any combination to achieve continuous integration. A few examples are provided below:

Poll SCM and Deploy to multiple environments
1. Setup Poll SCM Trigger for every 30 minutes.
2. Setup Post Build Trigger to deploy to Dev immediately after a successful build.
3. Setup a Schedule Deploy to QA every Monday 7am (cron: *0 0 7 ? * MON ** ).
Scheduled Build and Deploy
1. Setup Scheduled Build for every day at noon (cron: 0 0 12 * * ? ).
2. Setup a Post Build Trigger to deploy to Development environment.
