Email GitHub Actions workflow failures
Let failed automation reach the right person without dashboard watching.
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
Send Email
Send an email using resend.
Why this helps
A failed workflow can sit unnoticed while everyone assumes the automated step completed.
- Improves operational awareness
- Reduces monitoring fatigue
