Hi team, I recently worked on a pact test instance with a service provider where they don't have true provider tests and that raised concern regarding the process of setting up a webhook. My understanding is that when working with open api swagger docs, a webhook is not feasible and also not needed. The service providers have a setup where a provider contract publish job is run with each merge to the api doc repo (when updating api docs). I'd like to get validation that based on this setup, validation would occur when we would want it to, every time a pact changes.

Hey, Correct webhooks to trigger provider verifications are not required, as part of a BDCT workflow. you can run

can-i-merge

on the provider branch to determine the verification results, but yes when the openapi document is uploaded, the cross-comparisons take place and can be queried via

can-i-merge

/

can-i-deploy

This sounds good, thank you!
