Required. The parent collection in which the Automation must be created. The format is projects/{projectId}/locations/{location_name}/deliveryPipelines/{pipeline_name}.
Query parameters
Parameters
automationId
string
Required. ID of the Automation.
requestId
string
Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server knows to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server guarantees that for at least 60 minutes after the first request.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
validateOnly
boolean
Optional. If set to true, the request is validated and the user is provided with an expected result, but no actual change is made.
Request body
The request body contains an instance of Automation.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains a newly created instance of Operation.
