For an existing CodeBuild build project that has its source code stored in a GitHub or Bitbucket repository, enables CodeBuild to start rebuilding the source code every time a code change is pushed to the repository.
Warning
If you enable webhooks for an CodeBuild project, and the project is used as a build step in CodePipeline, then two identical builds are created for each commit. One build is triggered through webhooks, and one through CodePipeline. Because billing is on a per-build basis, you are billed for both builds. Therefore, if you are using CodePipeline, we recommend that you disable webhooks in CodeBuild. In the CodeBuild console, clear the Webhook box. For more information, see step 5 in Change a Build Project’s Settings .

--project-name
(string)
The name of the CodeBuild project.
--branch-filter
(string)
A regular expression used to determine which repository branches are built when a webhook is triggered. If the name of a branch matches the regular expression, then it is built. If
branchFilter
is empty, then all branches are built.Note
It is recommended that you use
filterGroups
instead ofbranchFilter
.
--filter-groups
(list)
An array of arrays of
WebhookFilter
objects used to determine which webhooks are triggered. At least oneWebhookFilter
in the array must specifyEVENT
as itstype
.For a build to be triggered, at least one filter group in the
filterGroups
array must pass. For a filter group to pass, each of its filters must pass.(list)
(structure)
A filter used to determine which webhooks trigger a build.
type -> (string)
The type of webhook filter. There are six webhook filter types:
EVENT
,ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID
,HEAD_REF
,BASE_REF
,FILE_PATH
, andCOMMIT_MESSAGE
.EVENT
A webhook event triggers a build when the provided
pattern
matches one of five event types:PUSH
,PULL_REQUEST_CREATED
,PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED
,PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED
, andPULL_REQUEST_MERGED
. TheEVENT
patterns are specified as a comma-separated string. For example,PUSH, PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED
filters all push, pull request created, and pull request updated events.Note
The
PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED
works with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise only.ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID
A webhook event triggers a build when a GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, or Bitbucket account ID matches the regular expression
pattern
.HEAD_REF
A webhook event triggers a build when the head reference matches the regular expression
pattern
. For example,refs/heads/branch-name
andrefs/tags/tag-name
.Works with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise push, GitHub and GitHub Enterprise pull request, Bitbucket push, and Bitbucket pull request events.
BASE_REF
A webhook event triggers a build when the base reference matches the regular expression
pattern
. For example,refs/heads/branch-name
.Note
Works with pull request events only.
FILE_PATH
A webhook triggers a build when the path of a changed file matches the regular expression
pattern
.Note
Works with GitHub and Bitbucket events push and pull requests events. Also works with GitHub Enterprise push events, but does not work with GitHub Enterprise pull request events.
COMMIT_MESSAGE
A webhook triggers a build when the head commit message matches the regular expression
pattern
.Note
Works with GitHub and Bitbucket events push and pull requests events. Also works with GitHub Enterprise push events, but does not work with GitHub Enterprise pull request events.
pattern -> (string)
For a
WebHookFilter
that usesEVENT
type, a comma-separated string that specifies one or more events. For example, the webhook filterPUSH, PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED
allows all push, pull request created, and pull request updated events to trigger a build.For a
WebHookFilter
that uses any of the other filter types, a regular expression pattern. For example, aWebHookFilter
that usesHEAD_REF
for itstype
and the pattern^refs/heads/
triggers a build when the head reference is a branch with a reference namerefs/heads/branch-name
.excludeMatchedPattern -> (boolean)
Used to indicate that the
pattern
determines which webhook events do not trigger a build. If true, then a webhook event that does not match thepattern
triggers a build. If false, then a webhook event that matches thepattern
triggers a build.
Shorthand Syntax:
[{type=string,pattern=string,excludeMatchedPattern=boolean},{type=string,pattern=string,excludeMatchedPattern=boolean}] ...
JSON Syntax:
[
[
{
"type": "EVENT"|"BASE_REF"|"HEAD_REF"|"ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID"|"FILE_PATH"|"COMMIT_MESSAGE",
"pattern": "string",
"excludeMatchedPattern": true|false
}
...
]
...
]
--build-type
(string)
Specifies the type of build this webhook will trigger.
Possible values:
BUILD
BUILD_BATCH
--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

To create webhook filters for an AWS CodeBuild project
The following create-webhook
example creates a webhook for a CodeBuild project named my-project
that has two filter groups. The first filter group specifies pull requests that are created, updated, or reopened on branches with Git reference names that match the regular expression ^refs/heads/master$
and head references that match ^refs/heads/myBranch$
. The second filter group specifies push requests on branches with Git reference names that do not match the regular expression ^refs/heads/myBranch$
.
aws codebuild create-webhook \
--project-name my-project \
--filter-groups "[[{\"type\":\"EVENT\",\"pattern\":\"PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED, PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED\"},{\"type\":\"HEAD_REF\",\"pattern\":\"^refs/heads/myBranch$\",\"excludeMatchedPattern\":true},{\"type\":\"BASE_REF\",\"pattern\":\"^refs/heads/master$\",\"excludeMatchedPattern\":true}],[{\"type\":\"EVENT\",\"pattern\":\"PUSH\"},{\"type\":\"HEAD_REF\",\"pattern\":\"^refs/heads/myBranch$\",\"excludeMatchedPattern\":true}]]"
