Overview
The pipeline.trigger_source pipeline parameter will be deprecated on 21st September 2026, this is in conjunction with the deprecation of pipeline parameters beginning with pipeline.trigger_parameters.* as outlined here. pipeline.trigger.type is the suitable replacement for this value in your CircleCI configuration.
The values are not a one-to-one rename. In particular, webhook under pipeline.trigger_source covered VCS push events. Under pipeline.trigger.type, webhook means a custom webhook only. VCS triggers use provider-specific values, such as github_oauth or bitbucket_cloud.
For the full list of pipeline values, see Pipeline values.
