​
4. Include the Azure DevOps Task

Include the following Azure DevOps Task into your CI/CD build pipeline on pull request. We assume you are running branch deployments so that every change can be tested in isolation. You will have to inject the publicly accessible URL of your branch deployment and the API key via the azure task. 
- task: automagicallyexecute@2
  inputs:
    url: <publicly accessible url to your deployment>
    token: ${{ secrets.AUTOMAGICALLY_TOKEN }}
    testTargetId: <your testTargetId that you also get from us>
    blocking: <if you want your pipeline to wait for all tests to pass>
    environmentName: <if you want to run tests on an environment other than default>
Please make sure to integrate the AzureDevOps Task AFTER your deployment step.
The Azure DevOps Task is published here: source code

​
5. Set user permissions

Make sure that your build service user also has permissions to comment to pull requests. To do so, navigate to the Project Settings > Repos > Repositories > Security tab and allow the ‘contribute to pull request’ flag.

6. Allow comments

During installation, we’ll ask you to grant access to your repository with write access to pull request threads, so we are allowed to comment back into the pipeline. It will list the test results with additional links to more details, looking like this ↓

We won’t need any other permissions. We won’t be able to see your code.
