Frequently asked questions

What can I automate with CircleCI on Definable?

Anything CircleCI exposes through its API. Common developer tools workflows on Definable include triage issues, review pull requests, monitor builds. Personas can call any of the 65 CircleCI tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.

How does CircleCI authentication work?

CircleCI uses API_KEY on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.

Is the CircleCI integration included in my Definable plan?

Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 65 CircleCI tools. You only need a separate CircleCI subscription if CircleCI itself charges per seat or per API call.

Is using CircleCI through Definable secure?

Every call from a persona to CircleCI is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.

How do I get started with CircleCI on Definable?

Sign up for Definable, open the integrations page, find CircleCI, and connect via OAuth or API key. You can immediately attach CircleCI to any persona and start running workflows. The free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits/month.

What CircleCI actions does Definable expose?

Definable exposes all 65 CircleCI actions as callable tools — including `Create Context`, `Create Context (GraphQL)`, `Create Context Restriction`, plus 62 more. Each tool gets a typed parameter schema so personas know exactly how to call it.
