Learn how to set up automation rules for your Deployments in Humanitec.
Introduction
Humanitec makes it easy to automate Deployments in any Environment based on Rules whenever a new Image build is pushed by your CI pipelines. For example, you can configure Humanitec to re-deploy your Development Environment every time a new container image is built on the dev branch using the new container image.
Create an Automation Rule
To create an Automation Rule, you will need to have the Administrator role within your Organization or hold the Deployer role on the Environment. Learn more about RBAC in Humanitec here.

Start on the Environment Settings Screen: Select the Environment in which you want to create an Automation Rule, click on the three dot menu next to the Environment name and select Environment Settings.

Each Automation Rule can apply to All images, Selected images, or All images except images.
Optionally the git reference that the image was built from can be specified. For example: refs/heads/main or refs/tags/1.3.4.

You can create an Automation Rule via the Create New Automation Rule endpoint.
Once a new Image is built, Humanitec will initiate a new Deployment to the Environment based on your Automation Rules.
At any point in time, you can deploy manually by clicking the Deploy button in the top right corner of the App Details Screen.
All automatically triggered Deployments are tracked in the Deployment history. You can see - in real-time - when an automatic Deployment is running in your Environment.
