It turns out that it’s a bug in Azure DevOps – who would have thought :) Luckily, there’s a fairly simple workaround available! Problem A colleague was configuring a new pipeline in Azure DevOps. It was supposed to fire based on an external webhook that was defined as a service connection to…Continue reading Azure DevOps incoming webhook just won’t fire? Easy (stupid) fix!
