Guides How-to

Make CI failures visible — and make recovery visible too.

Keep failing checks, jobs, and recoveries attached to the pull or merge request conversation instead of scattering alerts across chat.

How it works

Four steps from connection to a useful conversation.

  1. 1

    Create or update a review route for the repository and turn on pull or merge request pipeline status.

  2. 2

    For GitHub, accept the Checks and Actions permissions so ForgeRelay receives check and workflow changes.

  3. 3

    For GitLab, enable both Pipeline and Job events so parallel job updates are visible instead of collapsed into one summary.

  4. 4

    Choose whether pipeline updates stay in the request thread or post as a new channel message when a failure needs wider attention.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting.

Yes. GitHub check events and GitLab Job events let ForgeRelay keep per-job detail in the message card.

No. They can update the existing pull or merge request conversation, preserving the context for reviewers.
