Azure DevOps

Read and write Azure DevOps work items (WIQL), comments, areas, iterations, repositories, pull requests, threads and builds.

Keep Azure Boards, Repos and Pipelines aligned with service management, finance and portfolio systems.

Build a flow with Azure DevOps Provider API documentation

Source actions

Destination actions

Data types

Validation status

Implemented · fixture tested.

Implementation is checked against provider-shaped fixtures for every action, authentication failures, rate limits, pagination and duplicate safety. Provider sandbox and authorised account validation are recorded separately when credential-backed runs are completed.

Authentication

Personal access token

Plans and access

Azure DevOps Services organisations (Basic access for Boards and Repos writes; Stakeholders have limited work item rights). Results follow the PAT owner's permissions and the scopes chosen when the token was created. Organisations can restrict or disable PAT creation.

Test environment

A free Azure DevOps organisation (up to five Basic users) works for testing.

Rate limits

Resource-based throttling in TSTUs per user over a sliding five-minute window; delayed or rejected requests return HTTP 429 with Retry-After.

Provider events

Service hooks for work item, pull request, build and release events. Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.

Before you build a flow

Work item search returns IDs from WIQL; fetch fields with work_items.list (batch of up to 200 IDs). Nexra makes one provider call per operation, so the two steps are separate operations.
Work item comments use the preview API version 7.1-preview.4, the only version Microsoft publishes for comments.
Completing (merging) pull requests, deleting work items and release pipelines are not implemented.
Azure DevOps Server (on-premises) and Microsoft Entra OAuth are not supported; use Azure DevOps Services with a PAT.
Work item, comment, pull request, thread and build creates have no idempotency key; uncertain writes are not repeated automatically.
