Port is an open internal developer portal. The portal contains valuable data about standards and compliance (in the form of scorecards or initiatives) about software catalog entities, such as the production readiness (scorecard) of a microservice (an entity).

This action will allow you to automatically send reports and reminders with regard to initiatives or scorecards, letting managers and developers know what standards need to be met that are relevant to them.

Find your Port credentials To find your Port API credentials go to Port, hover on the 3 dots button at the top right corner, select Credentials and then you will be able to view and copy your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET:

A call to action to remind the team that some of their services didn't reach Gold level for specific scorecard.

This example will send a scheduled reminder to a Slack channel about all the services that didn't reach the Gold level in the productionReadiness scorecard for the Backend Team.

You can modify the schedule to run the reminder on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. For more information about scheduling, refer to the GitHub Actions documentation. You can also modify the filter rule to filter the services, ideally you would want to filter by team, so that each team will get a reminder about their services.

Generated subtasks for the task:

This example will create a Jira task for every service in every level that are not completed in the productionReadiness scorecard for the Backend Team. For every rule in the scorecard that is not completed, a subtask under the relevant task in Jira will be created. Once the scorecard is completed, the tasks and subtasks will be resolved (passed to Done status).

You can modify the schedule to run the reminder on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. For more information about scheduling, refer to the GitHub Actions documentation.

You can also modify the filter rule to filter the services, ideally you would want to filter by team, so that each team will get a reminder about their services.
