Build Event Handlers

What are Build Event Handlers

Build Event Handlers are tasks which execute on the server (as opposed to Actions which run on the agents). They can be configured to respond to one or more Build Events which occur as the build progresses.

The following Event Handler types are available:

• Octopus Deploy
• Tag Repository Changeset
• Update GitHub Status
• GitHub Release
• Update Bitbucket Server Build Status
• Persist Build Variables
• HTTP Request

How to Create an Event Handler

Build Event Handlers can be created within the Events step of the Configuration Wizard.
