The URL of the Azure function to be invoked​. Example: https://azurefunctionapp.azurewebsites.net/api/HttpTriggerJS1.


key - Function key
string. Required.

The function or the host key used to access and invoke the function. To keep the key secure, use a secret pipeline variable to store the function key. Example: $(myFunctionKey). myFunctionKey is an environment-level secret variable with a value as the secret key.

string. Required. Allowed values: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, PATCH. Default value: POST.

The HTTP method with which the function will be invoked.


headers - Headers

The header in JSON format to be attached to the request sent to the function.


queryParameters - Query parameters
string.

The string query to append to the function URL. Must not start with ? or &.


body - Body
string. Optional. Use when method != GET && method != HEAD. Default value: {"JobId": "$(system.jobId)", "PlanId": "$(system.planId)", "TimelineId": "$(system.timelineId)", "ProjectId": "$(system.teamProjectId)", "VstsUrl": "$(system.CollectionUri)","AuthToken": "$(system.AccessToken)"}.

The request body in JSON format.


waitForCompletion - Complete based on
string. Required. Allowed values: true (Callback), false (ApiResponse). Default value: false.

How the task reports completion.

  • false - API response - the function returns success and success criteria evaluates to true.
  • true - Callback - the function makes a callback to update the timeline record.

successCriteria - Success criteria
string. Optional. Use when waitForCompletion = false.

The criteria for a successful task. By default, the task returns 200 OK status when successful.

Example: For response {"status" : "successful"}, the expression can be eq(root['status'], 'successful'). Learn more about specifying conditions​.
