# Integrations

Automate publishing Live Updates from your CI/CD pipeline. The setup is the same across providers — only the pipeline syntax differs.

## How it works

Every pipeline follows the same shape:

1. **Authenticate** — create an API token in Capawesome Cloud, store it as a CI secret, and log in with `--token`.
2. **Create the channel** — `apps:channels:create --ignore-errors` is idempotent: it creates the channel on first run and is a no-op afterward.
3. **Build and publish** — let Capawesome Cloud build your web assets in the cloud (`apps:builds:create --platform web`) so every release uses the same environment, or build on the runner and upload with `apps:liveupdates:upload`.

A few recommendations that apply to every provider:

- **Build in the cloud** rather than on the runner, to avoid environment drift.
- **Pin the CLI version** (`@capawesome/cli@<version>`) so pipelines are reproducible.
- **Use `--git-ref`** to associate each bundle with the commit it was built from.
- Prefer **manual dispatch** over auto-on-merge so updates ship when you decide.
