Get monitor details after a failed GitHub Actions run

Bring runtime configuration into the same recovery conversation.

Trigger

GitHub Workflow Run State Changed

Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).

Action

Get Monitor
