CircleCI is the continuous integration & delivery platform that helps the development teams to release code rapidly and automate to build, test, and deploy. CircleCI can be configured to run very complex pipelines efficiently with caching, docker layer caching, resource classes, and many more. After repositories on GitHub or Bitbucket are authorized and added as a project to circleci.com, every code triggers CircleCI runs jobs. CircleCI also sends an email notification of success or failure after the tests are complete.

First, get a CircleCI API token

  1. Login to your CircleCI account

  2. Click on the user menu and then click "User Settings"


  3. Click "Personal API Tokens" and then click "Create New Token"

  4. Name the token and click "Add API Token"


  5. Copy your API token to a text editor.

Lastly, create a CircleCI credential in Tines

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the CircleCI credential

    1. Name: CircleCI

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your API token
