I’m working on declarative pipeline. I want to trigger the job on specific commit like **“Release to SIT”**. For this purpose, there was a plugin **“commit-message-trigger-plugin”** [https://plugins.jenkins.io/commit-message-trigger-plugin/](https://plugins.jenkins.io/commit-message-trigger-plugin/), which is suspended.

Is there any way to configure a Jenkins job to trigger a build on specific commit message?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @technonies and welcome to this community 👋

You could always download the plugin and install it manually, but it hasn’t been updated for 7 years.  
I think a `.sh` or `.bat` script file would be helpful for your use case, reading the commit message and deciding if you should build or not.  
Please have a look at :

Thanks for your reply. I just write my own script to accomplish this task.

Actually you can’t in this case. Support for plugins not written in Java have been removed.

Thank you Gavin, my bad.
