We have two code repositories say A and B. Once a workflow completes on Repo A is it possible to auto trigger a build on Repo B? Couldn’t find any YAML configuration or something to do that.

When I did the research, I couldn’t find anything built-in to Circle that would do this. What I would do is add a step after the build step of rep A to trigger a build on B via the API. This has the advantage of: 1- only triggering the build on B if the build step in A succeeds, and 2- doesn’t n…

I’ll ask around about this, but the workaround that comes to mind would be setting an environment variable when your build is complete, indicating it’s complete, and running a script which checks that environment variable, and triggers the other repo to build via an empty commit.

Thanks @Cormac ! I think this variable could be set at repository level itself so that if we don’t want to trigger build in other Repo we can delete this variable and add it again when required.

Nice work @muhammed-sayadi :smile_cat:

If a build completes in one project is there a way to trigger build on another project

I think thats the correct way (i.e. using CircleCI API) to trigger a build. Thank you.
