What must be configured for a user story to launch automations upon submission?

To enable automations to launch upon the submission of a user story, the connection behaviors must be configured appropriately. Connection behaviors dictate how the automations interact with the various elements of the implementation process within Copado. By setting these correctly, you ensure that the necessary triggers are in place for automation activities to commence once a user story is submitted.

For automations to work effectively, they rely on well-defined behaviors that determine how the system responds to user inputs, such as a story submission. The connection behaviors can include settings related to the status of a user story and which automations should be triggered in response to that status change. This configuration is vital for the seamless integration of workflows and ensures that all associated activities occur automatically without the need for manual intervention.

In contrast, quality gates, user permissions, and environment settings play different roles in the overall process. Quality gates are primarily concerned with maintaining the integrity of code and process before proceeding with deployments. User permissions control who has the access and rights to perform certain actions but do not influence the initiation of automations. Environment settings relate to the specifics of the deployment environment itself, such as connectivity and authentication, rather than directly modulating the automation triggering process.
