Are you familiar with groovy syntax? To play around you can setup a pipeline job and create stages for the steps that you want the job to handle.

here is an example stage where yu call a playbook with parameters

`stage('deploy') { if ("${DEPLOY_FLAG}" == "true") { // def SSH_KEY='<path>/deploy_id_rsa' def DEP_PLAYBOOK='<path>/deploy_app.yml' sh "ansible-playbook --private-key=${SSH_KEY} -b -e MY_WORKSPACE=${workspace} ${DEP_PLAYBOOK} -l ${DEPLOY_TARGET}" } }`

it works nicely and you can see the status of the stages on the job home page.

So an example job which builds and deploys might have stages where you

- pull from source mgmnt
- verify
- build
- build test
- deploy to canary
- sanity check
- deploy
- deploy verification
- tests …
- post deploy notification

All in one script -

Note in my example the conditional - you can set that either in the gui or in github post hooks etc. So the same pipeline file can handle build tests as well as deploys, etc

I would dive in and sandbox until yuo get comfortable
