WalkthroughThe push email workflow was re-landed with branch-only triggers, independent runs, reduced permissions, a five-minute timeout, and a SHA-pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush Email Workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Branch deletions can still send push notification emails despite the workflow's branch filtering, producing misleading notifications. Add an explicit deletion-event guard before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion deleted true head_commit null workflow branches filter
💡 Result:
When a GitHub branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event in addition to the delete event [1][2][3]. In this specific push event payload, the property deleted is set to true, and the head_commit object is set to null [3]. This behavior occurs because the push event signals that the reference (the branch) no longer exists, and consequently, there is no longer a head commit associated with that ref [1][3]. Workflow filters in GitHub Actions (such as the branches or branches-ignore keys) operate on the ref that was pushed [4][5]. Because this "deleted" push event is technically a push to the repository, it can trigger workflows configured to run on push events [1][3]. If you wish to prevent your workflows from running when a branch is deleted, you cannot rely on simple branch filtering alone, as the event persists [3]. Common strategies to handle this include: 1. Using an if condition to check the payload: You can add an if expression to your job or step to skip execution when the ref is deleted [3]. if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. Using a dedicated action: Community-maintained actions, such as filter-deleted-branches, exist specifically to stop workflow execution if the push event was triggered by a branch deletion [6]. For monitoring actual deletions specifically, it is generally recommended to use the delete event instead of the push event [4][1][2]. The delete event payload explicitly identifies the branch name via the ref property (e.g., refs/heads/branch-name), whereas push events may require more complex payload parsing [7][2].

Exclude branch-deletion events explicitly.
The push event includes branch-deletion payloads, and branches: ['**'] does not exclude them. When github.event.deleted is true, the existing job condition still runs and sends a misleading push email. Add the deletion guard.
