Action Summary

The freshjots-append GitHub Action automates the process of appending log entries from workflow runs to a Fresh Jots notebook. It simplifies tracking and monitoring by creating or updating a specified notebook with custom text, enabling users to maintain an accessible history of workflow events. Additionally, it provides a “dead-man’s-switch” functionality to alert users via email if scheduled workflows fail to execute within a specified timeframe.

What’s Changed

First public release of the freshjots-append GitHub Action — append a line to a Fresh Jots notebook from any workflow with one declarative step.

What’s included

  • Composite action — instant cold start, runs on Linux / macOS / Windows GH-hosted runners.
  • Optional append-deadline-hours input — turns any scheduled workflow into its own dead-man’s-switch.
  • Token via FRESHJOTS_TOKEN env (never as a with: input — keeps the secret out of workflow YAML).
  • MIT-licensed.

Versioning

Pin to @v1 for non-breaking 1.x updates, or @v1.0.0 for full reproducibility.
