API Endpoint to trigger GitHub-linked theme update?

Hi Eric Nelson, yes that is the idea. I am trying to create a pipeline (on GitHub Actions) that would automatically increment the version and make Zendesk update the theme to the latest version.

Hey Timothy,

Thanks for clarifying, I think I misread your message the first time. You can do this by using this endpoint. We walk through the workflow a bit here. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Eric Nelson, I've read the link but it doesn't tell me how to trigger the Update from GitHub action available in the Theme settings page.

Hey Timothy,

This endpoint hooks into the backend endpoint that handles the upload. There isn't an endpoint that hooks into that frontend controller. Though the concept is the same:

Have your action create the update theme job on push to main, then you'll receive the endpoint to upload to.  Zip the repo, add it to the payload and create the update request. 

If you'd like my team can put this on our backlog of things to make a tutorial for. 

Eric Nelson so how does Zendesk manage to hide the manual zip-file uploading step from the user when they press "Update from GitHub"? Shouldn't the API also be able to bypass this step?
