How do I trigger synthetic tests from GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines?

Use the Acumen Logs GitHub Action in your CI/CD workflow to trigger a synthetic journey against your staging or production URL and fail the build if a step breaks.

DevOps teams can integrate Acumen Logs directly into their deployment workflows using our GitHub CI Action or REST API:

  1. Add the Acumen Logs Synthetic Action to your GitHub workflow YAML file.
  2. Optionally override the target start URL (to test a deployment preview or staging branch) and select a probe region.
  3. Wait for the run result—the action returns the run ID, pass/fail status, and response counts, and can fail the CI job automatically if the user journey fails.
