Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow may send incomplete emails for deleted branches, while an incompatible SMTP endpoint could prevent push notifications entirely.

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit null workflow syntax
💡 Result:
When a Git branch or tag is deleted, GitHub sends a push event webhook [1][2]. In this specific scenario, the payload for the push event includes a deleted attribute set to true, and the head_commit object is null [1][2][3]. Because the push event is triggered for deletions, workflows that depend on commit information (such as checking out the code or processing commit messages) will often fail if they do not account for this state, as they may attempt to reference head_commit or perform operations on a commit SHA that no longer exists (represented as a string of zeros in some contexts) [4][3]. To prevent workflows from running or failing during branch or tag deletions, you should include a condition in your workflow syntax to check the github.event.deleted property [5][4][6]. Recommended Workflow Syntax: You can use the if conditional at the job level to skip execution when a deletion occurs [4][6]: jobs: your_job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - run: echo "This step will not run on branch/tag deletion." By checking !github.event.deleted, you ensure that the job only proceeds for standard push events (creations or updates) where head_commit is present [4][6]. If you need to specifically handle deletions separately, you can use the delete event trigger instead, which is designed for this purpose [1][7].

Exclude branch deletions from the notification job.
on.push.branches: ['**'] also permits branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the job can send a notification with an empty Head msg. Add && !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 MIGRATION.adoc secure STARTTLS AUTH PLAIN server_address server_port
💡 Result:
The request refers to technical parameters commonly used in GitHub Actions for sending email via SMTP, such as those found in actions like dawidd6/action-send-mail [1][2], which are frequently employed in hyperpolymath repositories [1][3][4]. In this context, the migration to a newer version (e.g., v0.2.0) often involves standardizing these SMTP configurations: server_address: The hostname of your SMTP relay (e.g., smtp.gmail.com or an internal mail server) [5][6][7]. server_port: The port used to connect to the SMTP server [8][9]. Common values include 587 for STARTTLS-based connections and 465 for implicit TLS connections [8][9][7]. secure: A boolean flag or configuration option that defines the encryption behavior [9][7]. Setting secure: true typically enables implicit TLS (often associated with port 465), while secure: false (or unset) often defaults to an insecure connection that attempts an upgrade via STARTTLS (often associated with port 587) [6][9][7]. AUTH PLAIN: This refers to the authentication mechanism [10][11]. When username and password are provided in your GitHub Actions configuration, the action handles the authentication process [5][6][12]. To ensure security, it is highly recommended to establish an encrypted connection (via STARTTLS or TLS) before sending credentials [10][13], as AUTH PLAIN transmits credentials in an easily reversible format if the connection is not encrypted [13]. If you are following a migration guide, ensure your secure flag is correctly set to match your chosen server_port to prevent failed connections or plaintext credential transmission [9][7].

Verify the SMTP endpoint before switching actions.
If secrets.SMTP_HOST requires STARTTLS or an authentication mechanism other than AUTH PLAIN, this action can fail because secure: true selects implicit TLS. Confirm that SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT support implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN before merging. Do not use secure: false as a workaround.
