Automating workbench follow-up

Send a follow-up prompt after a pull request merges, deployment completes, and GitOps reconciliation settles

Overview

Follow-up automation lets the workbench associated with a pull request verify changes after they merge, build, and deploy. The workbench can inspect the live system and infrastructure state, then report or fix issues that are only visible after deployment.

The automation method depends on your source control and CI provider. The following section documents GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions

The Plural Workbench Follow-up Action sends a follow-up prompt to the workbench job associated with a merged pull request. It wraps the plural workbenches pr-followup command.

Requirements

The workflow requires:

  • A GitHub Actions runner with Bash, Git, and jq
  • pluralsh/setup-plural@v2 run earlier in the same job with Plural CLI version 0.12.60 or newer
  • Access to the target Plural Console through federated credentials or a Console token
  • A workbench job associated with the pull request
