Flag triggers

Flag triggers is an Enterprise feature

Flag triggers is available to customers on an Enterprise plan. To learn more, read about our pricing. To upgrade your plan, contact Sales.

Flag triggers let you initiate flag changes remotely using a unique webhook URL. For example, you can integrate triggers with your existing tools to enable or disable flags when you hit specific operational health thresholds or receive certain alerts. To learn more, read Flag triggers.

With the flag triggers API, you can create, delete, and manage triggers.

Update flag trigger

Update a flag trigger. Updating a flag trigger uses the semantic patch format.

To make a semantic patch request, you must append domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch to your Content-Type header. To learn more, read Updates using semantic patch.

Instructions

Semantic patch requests support the following kind instructions for updating flag triggers.

replaceTriggerActionInstructions

Removes the existing trigger action and replaces it with the new instructions.

Parameters
  • value: An array of the new kinds of actions to perform when triggering. Supported flag actions are turnFlagOn and turnFlagOff.

For example, to replace the trigger action instructions, use this request body:

{
  "comment": "optional comment",
  "instructions": [
    {
      "kind": "replaceTriggerActionInstructions",
      "value": [ {"kind": "turnFlagOff"} ]
    }
  ]
}

cycleTriggerUrl

Generates a new URL for this trigger. You must update any clients using the trigger to use this new URL.

disableTrigger

Disables the trigger. This saves the trigger configuration, but the trigger stops running. To re-enable, use enableTrigger.

enableTrigger

Enables the trigger. If you previously disabled the trigger, it begins running again.
