How to ask an approvement before deploy?

[Miguel Vargas]

I want to have an approvement step before deploying in production, but I don't know how to do that.

Hi @Miguel Vargas

I'm not sure if I would give you a better response than the one given by @Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]  in this thread: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bamboo-questions/How-do-I-configure-a-deployment-to-pause-and-ask-for-a-user/qaq-p/816388.

Please check that thread and if you still have things to clarify after that, just let me know.

Hi @Daniel Santos ,

In that thread, Jobin wrote that we can create a specific workflow, but it is manual, I don't know if there is an option, that triggers the deploy process when someone approves the build or authorize upgrade the production's environment.

Hi @Miguel Vargas

We don't have this type of configuration. The best you can do is to set an environment trigger that will run the environment when a successful run of another environment happens. In other words, you could automatically have:

• Build plan triggers Env1
• Env1 triggers Env2
• Someone from one team manually approves the deployments (for the record)
• Someone manually triggers Env3 (that could be production)

We don't have a trigger based on approval, but we do have a feature request for that:

• [BAM-13565] Add trigger in deployment upon approving Release

There is another feature request that might interest you as well:

• [BAM-15082] Enable environment deploy button only after the build is approved

Please vote on those feature requests and add yourself as a watcher to receive new updates from our development team.
