Automatically deploy approved workflow changes from GitHub

After a pull request is merged on GitHub, updated workflow files are automatically deployed to your automation platform.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each changed workflow file.

The problem it solves

Your team reviews and approves workflow changes in GitHub, but someone still has to remember to manually push those changes live afterward. That extra step gets missed or delayed, so approved fixes and updates sit unused. You want code review and deployment to happen in one motion, not two.

Who it fits

A development or operations team that manages automation workflows as code in GitHub and wants deployments to happen automatically after review.

How it works

  1. A pull request is merged on GitHub
  2. The system checks which workflow files were added or changed
  3. Each updated file is downloaded and decoded
  4. The corresponding workflow is created or updated in your live automation environment
What you get

Deployments that happen the moment a PR merges

Approved changes to your automation workflows go live the moment a pull request is merged, keeping your live environment matched to what your team reviewed.

What you get

Updated automation workflows live in your environment, matching exactly what was approved on GitHub.

What you need

A GitHub account and access credentials for your automation platform's API.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
