Summary
Maintenance automations no longer run inline on pull requests opened by other automations. When you merge a pull request from the Mintlify bot, the merge now triggers push automations like any other merge. An automation skips only merges of its own pull requests. The automations reference described the old inline behavior, so this PR updates that page.
Triggered by https://github.com/mintlify/server/pull/8602
Changes
automations/reference.mdx: replaced the paragraph about maintenance automations running on automation PRs and being combined into one PR with the new trigger-on-merge behavior.es/,fr/, andzh/translations.Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only edits to automation reference pages; no runtime or configuration code changes.
Overview
Updates the Maintenance automations section in the predefined automations reference so it matches new product behavior: maintenance no longer runs inline on pull requests opened by other automations.
The replaced paragraph now explains that merging an automation-opened PR acts like any other push and triggers other push-based automations, while an automation does not re-trigger on merges of its own PRs (with Translate content after Update from code changes as the example). The same wording change is mirrored in
es/,fr/, andzh/automations/reference.mdx.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit d7fb594. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
