2. Stack Options

Located at the top-right corner of the Stack page, this menu provides key operational actions for managing and executing a Stack.

Stack Options Menu

  1. Run Stack – Manually execute the Stack with the current configuration.

    Selecting Run Stack opens a modal that allows you to configure and initiate an execution.

    FieldDescription
    ActionChoose the desired action to perform, such as Create, Update, or Destroy.
    Add Context Tags to This RunAttach context tags to the specific Stack run for tracking and filtering.
    Run with Different ParametersOpens an advanced configuration panel to customize variables before running.
    RunExecutes the Stack immediately using the selected action and parameters.

    This option is ideal for triggering Stack executions directly through the UI.

  2. Use Programmatically – View API, CLI, or SDK commands to automate Stack executions externally.

    This section provides ready-to-use code snippets (e.g., cURL, JavaScript, Python, or SG CLI) to integrate Stack runs into CI/CD pipelines or other automation tools.

  3. Modify & Run – Launches the Stack modification process, guiding you through configuration steps before execution.

    You can update Stack and Workflow settings, input variables, connector environments, and runtime parameters before running the updated version.

  4. Use Wizard – Opens an intuitive guided interface for editing key Stack configurations.

    This includes:

    • Basic Stack metadata (name, description, tags).
    • The ability to reorder workflows within the Stack's execution sequence.
    • Adjusting context or template parameters with more granular control.

    The wizard provides a structured way to fine-tune Stack details before deployment.

  5. Delete – Permanently removes the Stack.

    Deletion is protected by a safety confirmation.

    WarningDescription
    ⚠️ Destroy FirstTo delete a Stack, it must first be destroyed — removing all associated resources.
    Deleting Without DestroyingOptionally, you may delete without destruction, leaving underlying resources active. However, all associated workflows will be permanently deleted "but not destroyed"

    Stack Delete Warning

    This ensures you do not unintentionally leave orphaned resources or lose active workflow configurations.


3. Stack Information Widgets

Located directly below the header, the Stack summary provides at-a-glance insights:
