Workflow Automation

An overview of Mergify Workflow Automation and its capabilities to automate your pull request process.


Mergify Workflow Automation is a rule-based system that automates pull request tasks using pull_request_rules in your Mergify configuration file.

Mergify evaluates the state of a pull request rather than individual events. This means it checks the current status of a pull request and acts based on defined conditions. This behavior is known as “edge triggering.”

An action will only be re-triggered for a pull request if the state flips back from being unmatched to matched.
