Windmill Sync
Learn how to configure a Windmill Sync for Hanzo KMS.
Prerequisites:
- Set up and add secrets to Hanzo KMS Cloud
- Create a Windmill Connection with the required Secret Sync permissions
-
Navigate to Project > Integrations and select the Secret Syncs tab. Click on the Add Sync button.

-
Select the Windmill option.

-
Configure the Source from where secrets should be retrieved, then click Next.

- Environment: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
- Secret Path: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.
If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out secret imports.
-
Configure the Destination to where secrets should be deployed, then click Next.

- Windmill Connection: The Windmill Connection to authenticate with.
- Workspace: The Windmill workspace to sync secrets to.
- Path: The workspace path to sync secrets to.
Workspace path must conform to Windmill's owner path convention.
-
Configure the Sync Options to specify how secrets should be synced, then click Next.

- Initial Sync Behavior: Determines how Hanzo KMS should resolve the initial sync.
- Overwrite Destination Secrets: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Hanzo KMS.
- Import Secrets (Prioritize Hanzo KMS): Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Hanzo KMS over Windmill when keys conflict.
- Import Secrets (Prioritize Windmill): Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Windmill over Hanzo KMS when keys conflict.
- Key Schema: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using
{{secretKey}}as a placeholder for the original secret name and{{environment}}for the environment.
We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Hanzo KMS only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
- Auto-Sync Enabled: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
- Disable Secret Deletion: If enabled, Hanzo KMS will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Hanzo KMS.
- Initial Sync Behavior: Determines how Hanzo KMS should resolve the initial sync.
-
Configure the Details of your Windmill Sync, then click Next.

- Name: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
- Description: An optional description for your sync.
-
Review your Windmill Sync configuration, then click Create Sync.

-
If enabled, your Windmill Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

To create an Windmill Sync, make an API request to the Create Windmill Sync API endpoint.
