Use the Generic Integration

A Generic Integration is an integration type that is not for linking to a specific service, but exists exclusively to securely store key-value pairs of information. This is appropriate for storing secrets such as tokens or passwords for retrieval by a step.

When you add this integration to a step, all key-value pairs are made available as environment variables in the form:

int_<integration-name>_<key>

For example, a Pipelines admin can define a Generic integration with the following entries:

Name: myCredentials
Custom Environment Variables:
- Key: username
- Value: janedoe
- Key: password
- Value: nAm30fMyp3t

When myCredentials is specified in a step's integrations block, the key-value pairs stored there can then accessed in the step as environment variables:

pipelines:
  - name: generic_integration_example
    steps:
    - name: step_1
      type: Bash
      configuration:
        integrations:
          - name: myCredentials
      execution:
        onExecute:
          - printenv int_myCredentials_username
          - printenv int_myCredentials_password
