Connect Netlify deploy notifications so TesterArmy tests every successful Deploy Preview on your pull requests. Connect GitHub and enable PR testing first so TesterArmy can resolve the pull request and report results.

​
Setup

  1. In TesterArmy, open your project → Integrations → Netlify and click Add Webhook. Copy the generated URL - it contains the secret and won’t be shown again.
  2. In Netlify, go to Project configuration → Notifications and add an HTTP POST request notification.
  3. Select the Deploy succeeded event, paste the webhook URL, and save.
On every pull request, Netlify builds a Deploy Preview and TesterArmy runs tests against the preview URL. Failed or still-building deploys never trigger tests - even if the webhook is also subscribed to those events.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Tests don’t start

  1. No Deploy Preview - PR testing needs Netlify Deploy Previews enabled (Project configuration → Build & deploy → Deploy Previews). Production deploys aren’t tied to a pull request, so they are skipped.
  2. Wrong event subscribed - the notification must fire on Deploy succeeded. Other events are accepted but ignored, so tests never start if only those are configured.
  3. Preview build skipped - if the project uses an ignore rule (common in monorepos), Netlify skips unrelated PRs entirely: no notification fires and no tests run. That is the intended behavior.

​
No PR comment appears

  1. GitHub App not connected - verify the installation under Integrations → GitHub.
  2. Not a Deploy Preview - only Deploy Previews are linked to a pull request; production and branch deploys don’t get PR comments.
  3. Permissions - the GitHub App needs Pull requests: Read & Write.
