How this differs from GitHub

The GitHub App connection handles repos and PRs. GitHub Actions is a separate toggle for workflow run data, green/red builds, that kind of thing, used in delivery scoring and the leadership CI health widget.

You can turn Actions off without dropping GitHub entirely. Readiness and PR metrics keep working; CI-specific charts just stop updating.

Prerequisites

GitHub must already be connected. If the app needs extra permission to read Actions metadata, GitHub will prompt you during enable, approve that or the toggle won’t stick.

Turn it on

1. Connect GitHub first.
2. Settings → Integrations.
3. Make sure GitHub Actions is in your tech stack under CI/CD.
4. Connect or Enable.
5. Approve any permission upgrade GitHub asks for.
6. Status should show enabled with a recent sync time.

Turn it off

Disable from the same Integrations screen. GitHub stays connected; only CI metrics pause.
