GitHub Action for setting up Archy

[Steffen_Schmidt]

Hi all,

I created a GitHub Action to setup Archy in a step and use it in GitHub Actions. Feel free to use it.

Setup Genesyscloud Archy GitHub Action

Hi Steffen,

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. If you haven't done so yet, I would also look at our new Flow Resource in CX as Code. It is not as full-featured (yet) as Archy, but it will allow you to deploy and Architect flow out to a Genesys Cloud organization without the CX as Code resource being there. The flow component is GA (even though the website says it is beta. We are waiting for a terraform.io push to occur :)).

Thanks for taking the time to write this and share this with the community.

Thanks,

Hi John, thanks for the reply. But I think at the moment this might be a better solution to deploy flows which contain references to multiple yaml files. (Lesson 4C - External vs. Internal References) Or is that also possible with the Flow Resource?

Hi Steffen,

I agree with you :). I have a ticket sitting in the backlog to write a blog post talking about using external reference flows vs common modules and how you should use them in CI/CD pipeline. For external references, we are recommending people keep using the Archy CLI. For common modules, you can easily integrate them into the Flow component.

The Archy CLI is an extremely full-featured tool and can be easily integrated into a Terraform deploy. We built the Flow component to handle the most common architect flow deploys and minimize the need to set up and install Archy (and use a local-exec within the flow).
