# This workflow will trigger Datadog Synthetic tests within your Datadog organisation
# For more information on running Synthetic tests within your GitHub workflows see: https://docs.datadoghq.com/synthetics/cicd_integrations/github_actions/

# This workflow uses actions that are not certified by GitHub.
# They are provided by a third-party and are governed by
# separate terms of service, privacy policy, and support
# documentation.

# To get started:

# 1. Add your Datadog API (DD_API_KEY) and Application Key (DD_APP_KEY) as secrets to your GitHub repository. For more information, see: https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/api-app-keys/.
# 2. Start using the action within your workflow

This workflow uses actions/checkout@v4, but the rest of the repo’s workflows generally use actions/checkout v6 and often pin to a full commit SHA. To stay consistent and reduce supply-chain risk, update this to the same pinned version used elsewhere in .github/workflows (e.g., the v6.0.1 SHA).

Suggested change
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/checkout@v6.0.1

steps: list items are not indented under the steps: key (the - uses: line is aligned with steps:). This makes the workflow YAML invalid and will prevent the workflow from running. Indent the step entries (and the following - name: step) one level deeper than steps:.

This workflow references DD_API_KEY/DD_APP_KEY repository secrets. When triggered by pull_request from a fork, secrets are not provided, so this step will fail and can create a permanently failing PR check for external contributors. Consider adding an if: guard to skip when secrets are unavailable, or restrict execution to trusted events (e.g., push/workflow_dispatch).
