How to add a trigger to Bamboo plan using Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI)

This article explains how to add a trigger to a Bamboo plan using Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) app.

Instructions

Use addTrigger action to add a trigger to the plan. Triggering in Bamboo allows plan builds to be started automatically.

Execute this action for the trigger type, Polling. Bamboo will 'poll' the selected source code repositories for code changes using a schedule.
```
--action addTrigger --plan "MKTES-TP" --type "Polling" --description "polling trigger" --repository "test_training_mk" --schedule "3600"
```
Execute this action for the trigger type, Scheduled. Bamboo will trigger scheduled builds of this plan based on a cron expression.
```
--action addTrigger --plan "MKTES-TP" --type "Scheduled" --description "scheduled trigger" --schedule "1 0 0 ? * *"
```

The parameters used in the below actions are:

--plan value refers to Bamboo plan key.
--type value refers to the triggering options.
--repository value refers to the repository name.
--schedule value refers to the schedule configuration.

It is recommended to test the commands in a non-production environment, or, run the action with --simulate parameter to verify the behavior before deploying.
For more details, refer to Cron-based scheduling.
