GitLab Pipelines Actions

Port's GitLab Pipeline Action can trigger a GitLab Pipeline using a customer provided input and port_payload, for both self-service actions and automations.

The steps shown in the image above are as follows:

1. Port publishes an invoked Action message containing the pipeline details to a topic;
2. A secure topic (ORG_ID.runs) holds all the action invocations;
3. Port's execution agent pulls the new trigger event from your Kafka topic, and triggers your GitLab Pipeline.
