What initiates the automatic start of a deployment job?

The initiation of an automatic deployment job is closely linked to the execution of a Git promotion. When a Git promotion takes place, it triggers the deployment process within the Copado framework. This automation is a key feature that streamlines the transition from development to production by ensuring that the code changes stored in Git are seamlessly moved through the different stages of the deployment pipeline.

This process minimizes potential human errors and speeds up the overall workflow by allowing changes to be deployed automatically without necessitating manual intervention, provided that other prerequisite conditions—like passing automated tests—are met. In this context, the other options are not triggers for the deployment job initiation; they refer to subsequent or supporting steps that might be part of a deployment process rather than the direct catalyst for starting it.
