Review

The review action provides you with an automated way to review pull requests. This can be particularly useful in situations where you want to automatically approve pull requests that meet certain criteria, or to request changes on a pull request when a particular check fails.

pull_request_rules:
  - name: automatic approval
    conditions:
      - check-success = myfirstCIname
      - check-success = mysecondCIname
    actions:
      review:
        type: APPROVE

In this example, Mergify will automatically approve any pull request once all checks have passed successfully.

You can use Mergify to review a pull request on your behalf. This can be handy if you require a minimum number of reviews to be present on a pull request (e.g., due to branch protection) but want to automate some merges.

Dependabot is the bot behind GitHub’s automatic security updates. It sends automatic updates for your project’s dependencies, making sure they are secure. You can automate the approval of pull requests created by dependabot with a rule such as:

pull_request_rules:
  - name: automatic approval for Dependabot pull requests
    conditions:
      - author = dependabot[bot]
    actions:
      review:
        type: APPROVE
        message: Automatically approving dependabot
