Use of Azure DevOps pipeline completion trigger when triggering pipeline has a failure

Is it possible to trigger another pipeline from the pipeline completion trigger if there is a failure in the triggering pipeline? Seems there is no configuration/property available by default as per the documentation. Just wanted to check whether there is any possible way with the pipeline completion trigger.

    I was able to manage my requirement through the pipeline completion trigger itself. It is possible if we define stages in the triggering pipeline. I'm posting the answer if someone else looking for the same approach.

    1. Need to define the triggering pipeline definition with stages. Also, we need to make sure that at least one stage should be successful every time. I already have few stages defined and hence this is totally matching with my requirement.

      Triggering pipeline YAML definition: (pipeline name: pipeline1)

      trigger: none
pr: none

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

stages:
  - stage: stage_1
    displayName: Stage-1
    jobs:
      - job: greeting
        displayName: Greeting
        steps:
          - script: |
              echo "Hello world!"
              exit 1

  - stage: stage_2
    displayName: Stage-2
    condition: always()
    jobs:
      - job: thanking
        displayName: Thanking
        steps:
          - script: |
              echo "Thank you!"

    2. Define the pipeline completion trigger with stage filters for the triggered pipeline.

      Triggered pipeline YAML definition:

      trigger: none
pr: none

resources:
  pipelines:
    - pipeline: Pipeline_1
      source: pipeline1
      trigger:
        stages:
          - stage_2

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

jobs:
  - job: greeting
    steps:
      - script: |
          echo "Hello world!"

    Then the triggered pipeline will be triggered irrespective to the stage_1 in the triggering pipeline since stage_2 will be kept successful in each run.

    If the initial pipeline fails to trigger, all subsequent pipelines would logically fail to trigger. Try having your initial pipeline start with a stage that will never fail, and if that pipeline fails, you can set it to trigger the subsequent pipelines after the first one fails but gets triggered succesfully.

    Is it possible to trigger another pipeline from the pipeline completion trigger if there is a failure in the triggering pipeline?

    There is no such configuration/property available to achieve trigger another pipeline from the pipeline completion trigger if there is a failure in the triggering pipeline.

    To resole this issue, you could try to add powershell task to use the REST API Builds – Queue：

    POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds?api-version=6.1-preview.7

    You could check this thread for the detailed scripts.

    And set this powershell task with condition Only when a previous task has failed:

    In this case, regardless of whether the previous task fails, the REST API will be called at the end of the pipeline to trigger the build.
