Hi all,

I currently just started with my first synthetics but our plan is to integrate the on demand triggers in GitHub Actions and then read if it passed. I know Dynatrace has a GitHub actions integration but I can’t find anything on if we can also access the synthetics.

In short:

1. Trigger synthetic action in GitHub Actions
2. Wait for result and either pass or fail pipeline based on result

I also know there is an API but I would rather use a pre-made solution.

Thanks in advance!

The Github Action for Dynatrace reports events or metrics, I don’t think there is one for your use case.

But as you mentioned you can use a HTTP Request action to make an API call to the Environment v2 API (/synthetic/executions) to trigger the test and get the result.
