📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push notification workflow now uses explicit branch triggers, per-run concurrency, a five-minute timeout, and a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This changes push-email delivery to a new SMTP action. Notifications may fail if the existing SMTP endpoint does not support its TLS and authentication requirements, and branch deletions may produce malformed or unintended emails. Confirm a real delivery and exclude deleted push events before merging. Poem

GitHub Actions workflow syntax push branches filter branch deletion deleted true head_commit null
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it triggers a push event with specific characteristics, often causing workflows configured for push events to execute unexpectedly [1][2]. Key Technical Characteristics: - Push Payload: When a branch is deleted, GitHub sends a push webhook event where the deleted field is set to true [3][2]. - Head Commit: In this specific scenario, the head_commit object in the event payload is null [3][2]. - Workflow Behavior: Because this is technically a push event, any workflow configured with on: push will trigger if the branch name matches the workflow's filters (or if no filters are defined) [3][2]. The workflow execution often uses the state of the default branch because the deleted branch no longer exists [4]. Managing Branch Deletion in Workflows: Since GitHub does not provide a native filter to exclude branch deletions within the standard on: push syntax, developers often use one of the following approaches to prevent unintended execution: 1. Conditional Steps: Add an if condition to your job or step to check if the push was a deletion [2]. jobs: example-job: if: ${{ github.event.deleted!= true }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." 2. Community Actions: Use third-party actions designed to explicitly terminate the workflow if a branch deletion is detected, such as UltCombo/action-filter-deleted-branches [1]. Note on the delete Event: Do not confuse the push event (which includes deletions) with the separate delete webhook event [3]. The delete event is triggered specifically when a branch or tag is deleted, but it requires the workflow file to exist on the default branch to trigger correctly [3][5]. Depending on your requirements, you may prefer using the delete event instead of the push event if your goal is specifically to perform cleanup tasks when a branch is removed [5].

Exclude deleted-branch push events.
branches: ['**'] can match branch deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and may set github.event.head_commit to null. Add && !github.event.deleted to the job condition to prevent notifications without a commit message.

Confirm the SMTP provider contract before merging this migration.
With secure: true, hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action requires implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN. A STARTTLS endpoint or a server that only supports AUTH LOGIN can cause every enabled notification to fail. Confirm the configured endpoint and run one canary delivery with the real secrets.
