External services

This plugin connects to the GitHub API to trigger GitHub Actions workflows. This service is required to automatically deploy your site when content changes.

The plugin sends the following data to GitHub’s API:
– Repository information (user/repo format)
– Workflow filename
– Branch reference (default: main)
– GitHub personal access token for authentication

This data is sent every time a post is created, updated, or deleted (when the post status is ‘publish’). The GitHub token is stored securely in your WordPress database and is never displayed in plain text.

This service is provided by GitHub, Inc.:
