00Overview
Trigger and manage Jenkins jobs and builds, and control the Jenkins server
Every field below is exactly what you see in the Flomation editor. Fields marked ● live picker let you choose from a list pulled live from your account — no IDs to look up.
01Connecting Jenkins
Add your credentials as a Flomation environment secret, then pick them in each node. The connection fields are:
| Field | Type | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Token | secret | Required | a Jenkins API token (User ▸ Configure ▸ API Token) |
| Jenkins URL | string | Required | https://jenkins.example.com |
| Username | string | Required | your Jenkins username |
Pick an Environment on your flow (Flow Settings → Environment) so the secret resolves. Secret fields never show the value — they reference ${secrets.your_secret}.

05Notes & Limitations
Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.
- Triggering a job returns the queue-item URL rather than a build number, because Jenkins queues the request first; a build number only exists once the queue item is picked up, so track it in a later step rather than expecting it immediately.
- Restart and shutdown actions (including their safe variants) are not supported on every Jenkins environment and will fail where the instance is managed or containerised — treat them as best-effort rather than guaranteed.
- Quiet-down stops new builds from starting but lets running builds finish; nothing new will run until you cancel quiet-down.
- Deleting a job is permanent and removes all of its build history along with it, so there is no undo.
- Build actions accept keywords such as
lastBuildandlastSuccessfulBuildin place of a numeric build number, which is safer than hard-coding a number that may not exist yet. - Listing a job's builds returns roughly the 100 most recent by default; enable Return All to page through the full history on busy jobs.
