2. Configure API credentials: Set up your Cakewalk API credentials as CI/CD variables

3. Customize the pipeline: Adjust the workflow for your organization's needs

4. Test and deploy: Run the pipeline with test data before going live

🔧 Setup Requirements

• GitLab CI: GitLab 13.0+ with CI/CD enabled

• Jenkins: Jenkins 2.0+ with necessary plugins

• Generic: Any CI/CD platform that supports shell scripts

Environment Variables

Configure these as CI/CD variables:

CAKEWALK_API_KEY=your-api-key
CAKEWALK_API_SECRET=your-api-secret

Required Information

You'll need to gather:

• WorkApp IDs for applications you want to manage
