Change created at the start of a DEVOPs pipeline

[rickyraithatha]

Has anybody managed to successfully automate change creation from ADO at the beginning of the pipeline and successfully paused the pipeline to confirm the change is in the correct state before the actual deployment is done.

Is there something out of the box that does a change state check or can I send that through an API back to the pipeline to mark the pipeline as approved to proceed.

@gregholevas if you have any insight on this it would be really appreciated!

Hi , 

You can use ServiceNow DevOps release gates to create the change request and it automatically pauses further execution until it is approved.

Under the hood in ServiceNow, the flow updates the step execution record  based on the state it has reached when then is used by Azure DevOps to "know" the change is approved/rejected/pending approval  and decide whether to resume/cancel/wait  the pipeline.
