Hi, I’m currently using a monorepo with four apps in it.

For pull requests I’m using [autolabeler](https://github.com/probot/autolabeler) to automatically assign labels to pull requests based on what area of the code has been updated, to assign the correct PR reviewer etc.

I think it would be great if we could conditionally run parts of our pipeline based on these labels, for example if I only make code changes in one, don’t run the test suites of the others.

Thoughts on this? Is it feasible/can it already be done?

Cheers,  
Aaron

You can create a plugin for this. We are introducing a new category of plugins called configuration plugins. See my comment here, which includes an overview and a sample plugin: [https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/1021#issuecomment-417819643](https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/1021#issuecomment-417819643)
