Automate updating API definitions

Our API definitions are constantly being updated.  I would like testing to always be using the latest and most updated definitions.

If I'm relying on testers to manually follow the update process outlined here  https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/apis/update/update.html

then we risk testing either using outdated definitions or different definitions, depending on when each tester updated them.

My thought is having a Jenkins job run daily (or better yet when dev updates the definitions) that would:

1. Run a script in ReadyAPI to update the API Definitions

2. If there are updates, commit the changes to gerrit.

3. Send a status message to Slack

It seems fairly straightforward, but I don't know what I don't know.  Has anyone tried something like this before?  Is it possible to run a groovy script from ReadyAPI remotely using Jenkins?

I imagine one way to do this is to create a 'test' with a groovy script that can perform this action and then assign a special tag and the jenkins job could run Test Runner with the tag.

I'll keep researching in the meantime, but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
