GitHub Actions push branches filter branch deletion event github.event.deleted head_commit null

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, the push webhook event is triggered [1][2][3]. In this specific scenario, the payload includes deleted: true [4][2][5] and the head_commit property is set to null [4][2]. Because the branch no longer exists at the time of the event, the GITHUB_SHA in the workflow run typically defaults to the tip of the repository's default branch [1]. To prevent workflows from running unintentionally during a branch deletion, you can use a conditional if filter at the job or step level to ignore these events [3][6][7][8]. Recommended approach: Include an if condition in your workflow to check the github.event.deleted flag [5][7][8]. Example configuration: jobs: my-job: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} steps: - name: Run on push run: echo "This job will not run if the push event was caused by a branch deletion." If you need to distinguish between a standard push and a branch deletion, you can use the delete event trigger separately [3][9], though note that the push event will still fire for the deletion as well [2][3]. Combining if filters with the push event is generally sufficient for most cleanup or deployment logic [5][6][8].

Citations:

Exclude deleted branch refs from the notification.

If branch deletion notifications are not intended, add !github.event.deleted to the job condition. A branch deletion triggers push with deleted: true and head_commit: null, so the workflow can send an email without a commit message.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the notification
job condition in the push workflow to require github.event.deleted to be false,
preventing emails for deleted branch refs while preserving notifications for
normal pushes.

concurrency:
# Deliberately per-RUN, so no run is ever queued behind another and none is
# ever cancelled. Do NOT "tidy" this into a shared group such as
# ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}. GitHub's workflow-syntax docs:
# "By default, any existing pending job or workflow in the same concurrency
# group will be canceled and the new queued job or workflow will take its
# place." That happens regardless of cancel-in-progress, which governs only
# the RUNNING job. On this workflow it silently loses a notification email,
# with no error anywhere. Every run here reports a DISTINCT commit, so there
# is no redundant work for a concurrency limit to remove.
# The docs also offer `queue: max` (up to 100 pending); not used, because 100
# is still a cap whereas a per-run group needs none.
# Verified with zizmor 1.30.0: deleting this block raises concurrency-limits;
# this form silences it exactly as a shared group would.

Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH PLAIN authentication support smtp.office365.com port 587 official documentation

💡 Result:

The SMTP AUTH protocol via smtp.office365.com on port 587 is the standard method for authenticated client SMTP submission in Microsoft 365 [1][2]. Regarding authentication mechanisms, Microsoft has deprecated the use of Basic Authentication (which typically uses the PLAIN or LOGIN mechanisms with a username and password) [3][4][5]. As of September 2026, Microsoft Exchange Online requires the use of Modern Authentication (OAuth 2.0) for SMTP connections [6][3]. Key technical requirements include: - Server: smtp.office365.com [2][7] - Port: 587 [2][7] - Encryption: STARTTLS (TLS 1.2 or higher is required) [2][8] - Authentication: OAuth 2.0 (using the XOAUTH2 SASL mechanism) [6][4][5] While SMTP AUTH may still be technically enabled in some existing tenants or for specific mailboxes, Basic Authentication (username/password) is on a deprecation path and is no longer the recommended or supported standard for new implementations [1][3]. Official Microsoft documentation strongly recommends using Modern Authentication (OAuth) for all SMTP client submissions [2][6]. If an organization requires the use of SMTP AUTH, it must be explicitly enabled at the organization or mailbox level in Exchange Online [1][2].

Citations:

Confirm SMTP compatibility before merging.

If the endpoint requires STARTTLS, this workflow can fail because secure: true selects implicit TLS and the pinned action does not implement STARTTLS. Microsoft 365 uses STARTTLS on port 587 and this action supports only AUTH PLAIN with username and password. Confirm that secrets.SMTP_HOST supports implicit TLS on secrets.SMTP_PORT and AUTH PLAIN.
