GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter github.event.deleted head_commit
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted, GitHub sends a push event to your repository [1][2]. You can detect and filter out these events in your GitHub Actions workflows using the event context property github.event.deleted [3][4][5]. How to handle branch deletion in workflows: 1. Filtering Deleted Branches: To prevent your workflow from running when a branch is deleted, add an if condition to your job or step [6][7][4]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. head_commit behavior: When a branch is deleted, the push event payload sets head_commit to null because the branch no longer exists [5]. Accessing github.event.head_commit directly in a workflow triggered by a branch deletion may result in an error or empty values if not guarded [5][8]. 3. Accessing the Deleted Branch Name: If you specifically want to react to a branch deletion (rather than filtering it out), it is recommended to use the delete event trigger instead of push [9][10][1]. The delete event payload provides the name of the reference that was deleted via github.event.ref and the type via github.event.ref_type [11][12]. Example using delete event: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Clean up run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}" [11]

Exclude deleted branches explicitly.
A deleted branch push matches branches: ['**']. The current job condition then runs the notification step even though github.event.head_commit is null. Add !github.event.deleted to the condition.

Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission port 587 STARTTLS port 465 official documentation
💡 Result:
For Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission, the official documentation specifies that you must use port 587 with STARTTLS encryption [1][2]. Key configuration requirements and details: - Server/Smart Host: smtp.office365.com [1][3]. - TCP Port: 587 is the recommended port [1][3]. Port 25 is also supported but may be blocked by many ISPs and network firewalls [1]. - Encryption: You must use TLS (STARTTLS). Your device or application must support TLS 1.2 or later [1][2]. - Port 465 Note: Microsoft explicitly states that if your device or application defaults to TCP port 465, it does not support the required versions of TLS for client SMTP submission in Microsoft 365 [1][2]. - Authentication: You must provide the sign-in credentials (username and password) of the licensed mailbox being used to send the email [1][3]. Additionally, ensure that SMTP AUTH is enabled for the specific mailbox in the Microsoft 365/Exchange Online configuration [4][3]. If your environment has legacy clients that only support older versions of TLS (TLS 1.0 or 1.1), Microsoft provides a specific endpoint (smtp-legacy.office365.com) that can be enabled by an administrator using the Set-TransportConfig cmdlet with the AllowLegacyTLSClients parameter, though this is less secure and generally discouraged [5].

Ensure the SMTP endpoint uses implicit TLS.
This workflow sets secure: true, which uses implicit TLS from the first byte. The action does not implement STARTTLS. Confirm that SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT support implicit TLS, normally on port 465, and AUTH PLAIN. Microsoft 365 client submission uses STARTTLS on port 587 and is incompatible with this configuration. Run a handshake_only: true canary and one controlled delivery test with the same secrets.
