Is there a way to query for a publish notification (say via API call), besides email notification?

Hi, Is there a way to query for a publish notification (say via API call)? We currently use the email notification feature to let our ops know about Tealium publishes, but we would like to have our internal Jenkins jobs to query for publish information regularly and take some action. Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks, Sriram

Hey Sriram, Currently we don't have an API for checking for publishes in the manner you suggest. I'm not sure what you have in mind for your Jenkins jobs, but perhaps you could set up an email specifically to receive publish notifications and trigger Jenkins whenever those notifications come in to that address? Here's a link to Jenkins resources that may be helpful: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API I hope this helps. Thanks, Seth

Hi Seth, This is what I am making now: a program (or existing Jenkins plugin) which reads new email, processes it and moves it to deleted items. The Jenkins job calls this program and hooks into the process part to do whatever we have to do - including separating mails by envs since ops is not really interested in non prod publishes, publishing Tealium publish history to the wiki etc. While it should work, from a user point of view it is much better to have access to an API for automation like this. More about why we are adding this process: In our case, Tealium pixel publishes happen outside the normal release cycle and often dont go through the same test/validation cycle other code does. Recently we have had some issues where we want ops to have better visibility into Tealium publications while triaging prodution issues. Tealium JavaScript is loaded late asynchronously, but issues in the code could (and has) caused issues with other late loading JavaScript. This includes SiteCatalyst which while loaded via Tealium needs a 100% uptime. This is not a Tealium issue per se, more to do with how we release pixel code out-of-band with less QA. Thanks, Sriram
