Copilot for DeviceLink

For users of Copia DeviceLink, Copia Copilot can be used to automatically generate commit messages when DeviceLink detects modifications during a backup. These commit messages are stored in Copia's git-based source control system and are accessible across the Copia platform.

In order to activate Copilot commit descriptions, the following conditions must be met:

1. You must have Copia DeviceLink activated for your organization.

2. You must have Copia Copilot activated for your organization.

3. You must be running DeviceLink backups for a supported project type with autocommit enabled.

The fastest way to enable Copilot commit descriptions is to turn them on for your Copia organization. This will enable Copilot commit descriptions for all supported Copia projects in DeviceLink. Copilot commit descriptions can also be enabled for individual jobs.

Enabling Copilot commit descriptions for an organization

To enable Copilot commit descriptions for all supported DeviceLink projects in your organization, navigate to your organization settings. In the "DeviceLink" section, select the "Copilot" subsection. Enable the toggle labeled "Use Copilot to generate commit messages for modified backups in this organization".

If this toggle is disabled, Copilot commit descriptions can still be enabled for individual jobs.

Enabling Copilot commit descriptions for a Site-schedule job

To activate Copilot commit descriptions on a site-schedule job, follow the instructions for opening the sitewide backup schedule configuration. In the schedule configuration, find the toggle labeled "Enable Copilot-generated commit messages" and turn it on.

Enabling Copilot commit descriptions for a standard job

Copilot commit descriptions can also be activated for standard jobs. When creating or editing a job, select the toggle labeled "Enable Copilot-generated commit descriptions" and turn it on.

Reviewing commit descriptions

Commit descriptions generated by Copilot can be reviewed anywhere where commit messages are displayed in Copia. This includes the DeviceLink job history table, any views containing commit history, and the job run details page. Commit messages generated by Copilot are appended with the string [Generated by Copilot] .

Receiving commit descriptions in email notifications

Copia can deliver an email notification whenever DeviceLink detects modifications in a backup. If your backup job has autocommit enabled, these notifications will include commit messages, allowing you to receive natural language descriptions of all changes as soon as Copia detects them.

To receive commit descriptions as email notifications, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that your jobs are configured with autocommit enabled and with Copilot-generated commit messages enabled.

2. Follow the instructions for enabling immediate change notifications in DeviceLink.

3. Select which projects you want to watch for change notifications.
