📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe push notification workflow now runs for branch pushes only, stops after five minutes, and uses a pinned ChangesPush email notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Push-email notifications can send incomplete messages for deleted branches, and the new SMTP action may fail to deliver email unless the configured endpoint supports implicit TLS. Resolve these configuration and event-handling issues before merging. Poem

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions push event deleted branch github.event.deleted head_commit null branches filter
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered when a branch is deleted [1][2]. When this happens, the head_commit property in the webhook payload is null [1][2]. Because the push event fires for both standard pushes and deletions, workflows configured to process commits (e.g., those accessing github.event.head_commit) may fail if they do not explicitly check for this condition. To handle deleted branches and avoid errors caused by null values: 1. Check the deleted flag: The push event payload contains a boolean field named deleted [1][2]. You can check if the event is a deletion using ${{ github.event.deleted }} in an if condition within your workflow steps. 2. Verify head_commit exists: Ensure your code or script checks if github.event.head_commit is not empty before accessing its properties. Example usage in a workflow: jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Check if branch was deleted if: github.event.deleted == true run: echo "This push event was a branch deletion." - name: Process commit if: github.event.deleted == false run: | echo "Processing commit: ${{ github.event.head_commit.id }}" Regarding branches filters: The branches and branches-ignore filters in workflow syntax define which branch names trigger the workflow [3][4]. While you can filter by branch name, these filters are evaluated against the Git ref name and do not inherently filter out deletion events. If a branch deletion occurs on a branch that matches your filter pattern, the workflow will trigger [3][4]. Therefore, you must use conditional logic within the workflow steps (as shown above) to safely handle the deletion event [1][2]. If you only want to trigger workflows on branch deletions, you can use the delete event instead of push [5][6]. However, note that the delete event will only trigger a workflow if the deletion occurs on the default branch [5][6].

Exclude deleted branches from the notification job.
branches: ['**'] also matches branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the notification can contain an empty commit message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission smtp.office365.com port 587 STARTTLS AUTH PLAIN documentation
💡 Result:
To use SMTP AUTH client submission with Microsoft 365, configure your application or device with the following settings [1][2]: Server/Smart host: smtp.office365.com [1][2] TCP Port: 587 (recommended) or 25 [1][2] Encryption: STARTTLS (TLS 1.2 or 1.3 is required) [1][2] Authentication: SMTP AUTH (Username and Password) [1][3] Username: Full email address of the licensed Microsoft 365 mailbox [1][2][3] Password: Password of the mailbox [1][2][3] Important Configuration and Security Notes: - Prerequisites: The mailbox must be licensed and active [2][4]. SMTP AUTH must be explicitly enabled for the specific mailbox in the Microsoft 365 admin center or via Exchange Online PowerShell using Set-CASMailbox -Identity -SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false [5][6][3]. - Security Defaults: If Security Defaults are enabled in your organization, SMTP AUTH is disabled by default [5][6]. - Authentication Method: While the settings above use traditional credentials, Microsoft is actively transitioning away from Basic authentication [7][8]. As of September 2026, SMTP AUTH Basic Authentication behavior remains unchanged until the end of December 2026, at which point it will be disabled by default for existing tenants [8]. It is highly recommended to use OAuth (Modern Authentication) whenever possible to ensure long-term compatibility and security [1][5][7]. Do not use an IP address for the SMTP server [1][2].

Use an implicit-TLS SMTP endpoint for this workflow.
secure: true makes the pinned action use implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN. STARTTLS is not implemented. Configure SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT for an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465. Do not use smtp.office365.com:587, which requires STARTTLS.
