[ Blog ](/blog/) * Categories # Attach Build Settings[ΒΆ](#attach-build-settings "Permanent link") A triggered build is just a build β€” so it takes the same settings a manual build does. Attaching them to the automation means every build it kicks off is configured exactly how you want, with nothing to set per release. | Setting | Description | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Build Type** | The [type of build](/docs/cloud/native-builds/build-types/) to create. | | **Build Stack** | The [build stack](/docs/cloud/native-builds/build-stacks/) to build on. | | **Signing Certificate** | The [certificate](/docs/cloud/native-builds/certificates/) to sign the build with. | | **Environment** | The [environment](/docs/cloud/native-builds/environments/) (variables and secrets) for the build. | | **Destination** | A [store destination](/docs/cloud/app-store-publishing/destinations/) to submit the build to β€” see [Auto-submit to a store](/docs/cloud/automations/auto-submit/). | | **Channel** | A [Live Update channel](/docs/cloud/live-updates/channels/) to publish a web build to β€” see [Auto-publish a Live Update](/docs/cloud/automations/auto-publish-live-update/). | A few settings are tied to the platform you picked: a **Channel** applies to **Web** automations (it's the Live Update target), while a **Destination**, **Signing Certificate**, and **Build Type** apply to the **Android** and **iOS** builds you submit to the stores. ## From a build to a pipeline[ΒΆ](#from-a-build-to-a-pipeline "Permanent link") Most settings shape the build itself, but **Destination** and **Channel** go one step further β€” they tell the automation what to do _after_ the build succeeds. Attach one and the automation becomes a full pipeline: Git event β†’ build β†’ submit or publish, with no manual steps in between. ## Next steps[ΒΆ](#next-steps "Permanent link") * [Auto-submit to a store](/docs/cloud/automations/auto-submit/) β€” attach a destination for a build-and-submit pipeline. * [Auto-publish a Live Update](/docs/cloud/automations/auto-publish-live-update/) β€” attach a channel for an over-the-air pipeline. * [Automations reference](/docs/cloud/automations/reference/#build-settings) β€” every build-settings field at a glance.
