Hello, I am trying to integrate GitHub and Jenkins via GitHub Actions selfhosted **Runner** yaml file ( **not via webhooks** ). I am looking solution to track back the Jenkins build status in GitHub pull requests. I have explored many Jenkins plugins like GitHub Pull Request Builder, set GitHub commits via post build actions, etc. but its not working. I am assuming as I am not using Web-hook, these plug-ins are not able to do their job. Are there any other plugins / yaml script for this use-case? runner yaml file: name: Create Jenkins Links workflow on: [push, pull\_request] jobs: Jenkins-links-creation: runs-on: [self-hosted, Windows,my-runner] env: JOB\_ENV: True # This is accesible for the job Jenkins\_GITHUB\_ENDPOINT: “[https://rb-jmaas.de.bosch.com/PS-EC\_Playground/github-webhook/](https://rb-jmaas.de.bosch.com/PS-EC_Playground/github-webhook/)” HEADER\_CONTENT\_TYPE: “Content-Type: application/json” HEADER\_GITHUB\_EVENT: “x-github-event: ${{ github.event\_name }}” ``` steps: - name: List Environment variables run: set shell: cmd - name: Invoke Jenkins endpoint shell: cmd run: | curl -X POST --data @%GITHUB_EVENT_PATH% "%Jenkins_GITHUB_ENDPOINT%" -H "%HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE%" -H "%HEADER_GITHUB_EVENT%" ``` ---

So you want run a GitHub action and that action will trigger a build in Jenkins? Then follow the steps here [How to build a job using the REST API and cURL? – CloudBees Support](https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/218889337-How-to-build-a-job-using-the-REST-API-and-cURL-?page=67) ---

I’m super curious why your not using webhooks. It is it some sort of security thing so the github action is running on a server inside your network and you want to still notify jenkins. As far as I know, if your using the github branch source for your job, it should update the status back to github, doesn’t matter how its triggered. ---

Yes it happens via Webhook. But not via GitHub actions runner directly. In our case GitHub is on Cloud (Internet) & Jenkins is over Intranet. Due to some security & firewall settings Its not possible to use WebHooks. So Runner is in place. ---

This is pretty common setup, if you can’t open a connection for a webhook, then your only real option to trigger a build is with SCM polling, which isn’t really that bad as long as you use jitter so the polling doesn’t trigger all at once. ---

Sounds like they have a github actions agent connected to github, and that agent is turning around and curling/posting to jenkins. I personally would still post to the /github-webhooks endpoint, I just don’t know the structure to use. i’m sure if you look at the github plugin tests you can see what structure is needed. > [@Rakesh](#): > > etc. but its not working. Is there an error message? What are you expecting it to do? What did it do?
