Young-Hwan Kim

As a Platform Team I am faced with certain limitation from the target platforms.

In certain setups it is required to re-trigger a building block run to successfully provision the building block.

**Update: Trigger runs via API is now available in meshStack v2026.24.0**

What shipped:

The
trigger-run
action endpoint is now available on the meshBuildingBlock v2-preview API (note: the endpoint was renamed from
retrigger-run
to
trigger-run
)
You can trigger a
dry run
via the API by including
dryRun: true
in the request body
The run details page now shows who triggered a run and why, including trigger reason and author attribution

More API capabilities for building block lifecycle management are planned. We will update this post as further work ships.

We are currently looking into this as part of a broader initiative to complete the API for Building Block Runs beyond the uses cases directly needed by Building Block Runners.

Florian Nowarre

As a Platform Engineer, I want to be able to retrigger an existing building block, for example to renew Service Principal credentials. Ideally, this could be done via an API.
