# Copado

> Trigger a Testsigma test plan from a Copado deployment step and optionally pause the pipeline on the result.

Copado deployments trigger a Testsigma test plan through a URL Callout step, either pausing the Salesforce pipeline until results return or continuing without waiting.

## Prerequisites

- A test plan containing the test cases the deployment should run.
- An API key from **Settings > API Keys**.

## Add the callout step

1. **Open the app**: click **App Launcher** in the top navigation bar, search for **Copado Release Manager**, and open it.

2. **Add a step**: navigate to **Deployment > Steps > Add Step**.

3. **Name and type it**: enter a name in the **Step Name** textbox and select **URL Callout** from the **Type** dropdown menu.

## Fill in the callout details

1. **Choose the behavior**: in the details section, select one option from the **Type** dropdown menu:
   - **Perform callout and pause step**: calls Testsigma, passes the results back to Copado, and waits before deploying. Use it when the deployment depends on the test results.
   - **Perform callout and continue with deployment**: calls Testsigma but deploys without waiting. Use it for non-blocking tests.

2. **Set the method and URL**: select **POST** as the method. In the URL, enter the REST API call given in the test plan's cURL snippet, for example `https://app.testsigma.com/api/v1/execution_results`. The cURL response also contains the execution ID.

3. **Add the headers**: **Authorization** with your API key (`Bearer `), **Accept** with `application/json`, and **Content-Type** with `application/json`.

4. **Add the body**: paste the JSON payload in the **Body**, then click **Save**.

   

For **Perform callout and pause step**, Copado generates a **Resume URL** once you save the details. In Testsigma, go to **Test Plans > Test Plan > Test Plan Settings**, select **Copado Test plan call back hook**, paste the URL in the **Resume URL** textbox, and click **Update**. The test plan then runs with the pause behavior.
