Overview

Post-deployment Automation runs FlexSite-side scripts after GitLab pipeline deploy completes.

2. Add ordered steps: Drush config import, cache rebuild, search index, custom scripts.
3. Save automation chain.
4. Push a commit to trigger pipeline; verify logs show automation success.

Example commands

• drush updatedb -y
• drush cim -y
• drush cr

vs GitLab CI

• Use GitLab for build/test/artifact creation.
• Use FlexSite Automation for runtime Drupal operations on live environment infrastructure.

Combine with Environment Variables for API keys used in shell steps.
