Integration and API Spec
The reference during the build: every tool connection, auth scope, field mapping, and error-handling rule.
Integration and API Spec
Software Deployment Workflow
[YourCompany.com] · IT Department · Prepared by FullSpec · [Today's Date]
This document is the authoritative technical reference for every integration point in the Software Deployment Workflow automation. It covers authentication requirements, exact API scopes, webhook and trigger configuration, field mappings between tools, orchestration architecture, credential store contents, and defined error handling behaviour for each integration. The FullSpec team uses this specification during build and testing. Treat it as a living reference throughout the engagement and update it whenever credentials rotate or configuration changes.
01Tool inventory
02Per-tool integration detail
Used by Agent 1 (webhook trigger and CI check query) and Agent 2 (workflow dispatch trigger). A GitHub App is preferred over a PAT for production because it provides scoped installation tokens that expire and can be rotated without tying access to an individual user account.

// Output to Agent 1 context
{ commit_sha, pr_number, pr_author, repo_full_name, target_branch }Used by Agent 1 (ticket creation) and Agent 3 (status update and timestamp write-back). The Jira project key and deployment issue type ID must be stored in the credential store. No hardcoded values in workflow node fields.

}
// Output: jira_ticket_key (e.g. DEPLOY-142) passed to Agent 1 Slack message and Agent 3Used by all three agents. Agent 1 sends an interactive Block Kit approval message. Agent 2 listens for the button callback on the interactivity request URL. Agent 3 posts the deployment result to the team channel. A single Slack App with a Bot Token serves all three agents.
// Inbound interactive callback payload (key fields)

}
// Output parsed by Agent 2
{ decision: "approve", jira_ticket_key: "DEPLOY-142", deploy_run_id: "run-789", approved_by: "marcus.reid", approved_at: <timestamp> }Used by Agent 2 only. The Environment and Deploy Agent reads a structured config table from a known Confluence page to obtain environment variables for the target deployment environment. The page ID must be stored in the credential store. If config is not in a single structured table, a mapping exercise is required before build.
// API response (storage format excerpt)
<table><tr><th>variable_name</th><th>production_value</th><th>staging_value</th></tr>
<tr><td>DB_HOST</td><td>prod-db.internal</td><td>staging-db.internal</td></tr>
<tr><td>API_BASE_URL</td><td>https://api.yourcompany.com</td><td>https://api-staging.yourcompany.com</td></tr>
...
// Output to Agent 2 context (after parsing for target environment)
{ env_vars: { DB_HOST: "prod-db.internal", API_BASE_URL: "https://api.yourcompany.com", ... }, page_version: 47 }Used by Agent 3 (Post-Deploy Monitor Agent). The agent polls Datadog monitor states on a 5-minute interval after deployment completion. Monitor IDs and threshold definitions must be agreed with the team and stored in the credential store before build.
// Monitor state poll response (key fields)
{
"id": 12345678,
"name": "API Error Rate Post-Deploy",
"overall_state": "OK",
"query": "avg(last_5m):sum:trace.web.request.errors{env:production} / sum:trace.web.request.hits{env:production} > 0.05"
}
// Agent 3 decision logic
if overall_state == "Alert" -> trigger PagerDuty, flag Jira ticket
if overall_state == "OK" at any poll -> mark deployment healthy, close JiraUsed by Agent 3 only. A PagerDuty incident is fired via the Events API v2 when Datadog health checks breach threshold. The integration key (routing key) is service-specific and must match the deployment monitoring service configured in PagerDuty.

}03Field mappings between tools
The following tables define the exact field mappings for each agent handoff. Use these as the definitive reference when building data transformation nodes in the orchestration layer. Field names in monospace represent the exact key paths used in API payloads or extracted context variables.
Agent 1 handoff: GitHub webhook to Jira ticket creation
Agent 1 handoff: Jira ticket key and PR details to Slack approval message
Agent 2 handoff: Confluence config page to GitHub Actions workflow dispatch
Agent 3 handoff: Datadog poll result to Jira status update and Slack result post
