Change Log
Added webhook templates to trigger CI/CD processes when content changes
We added webhook templates to trigger builds on CI/CD/PaaS services:
- Trigger a build with the Circle CI
- Trigger a build with Travis CI
- Trigger a build with Gitlab
- Trigger a build with Heroku
- Trigger a cloud function with Webtask
Secret values for webhook headers
Headers provided for a webhook can now be marked as secret. A secret header value cannot be revealed in plain text anywhere in the system, including the Web App, API responses and webhook logs. Only the webhook target can receive the value of the secret header.
Headers can be marked as "secret" in the Web App webhook editor or using the Content Management API.
