Repository sync does not by itself deploy an app. Opt in with autoDeploy, then list the repository paths that can change the built result:
.towbar/apps/web.app.yml
Include shared libraries, lockfiles, build scripts, and Dockerfiles as needed. The Repository’s automation control can pause automatic work during maintenance. A manual Deploy remains a separate action. Start with one manual deployment and verify the running service before enabling automation.

​
Pull request previews

Enable previews for an environment in towbar.yml, then opt the app in with a base domain:
towbar.yml
.towbar/apps/web.app.yml
Eligible pull requests target the branch mapped to staging. Preview secrets are isolated from persistent environment values; resources do not create previews. Read Preview environments for expiry and cleanup.

​
Other automation

Use notifications to route an app’s events to additional workspace-configured destinations. It takes effect after a successful environment sync without a deployment. vulnerabilityScanning controls image scanning, while jobs runs scheduled commands from the deployed image. Follow Notifications, Vulnerability scanning, and Scheduled jobs for their separate configuration and execution rules.
