  • Optionally, you can define the required fields that must be populated to trigger the extension.

  • If needed, add conditions that determine whether the extension should be triggered for a given row.

  • Within the extension body, navigate to the return statement. Fnd the buildshipConfig object, which includes the following fields:

buildshipConfig: {
      projectId: "",
      workflowId: ""
}
  • Replace the placeholder with the configuration details copied from your BuildShip Rowy Trigger. It should look something like this:
buildshipConfig: {
  projectId: "buildship-008vd0",
  workflowId: "zE49cCs5kBmg7GkUwzLt"
}
