How GitHub Actions power a fully automated system that manages itself while you focus on building.
SimpleStruct uses a suite of GitHub Actions workflows that work together to automate project management, stakeholder communication, and content updates. The result: you just write code, and everything else happens automatically.
🎯 The Simple Version: Robots watch your work, write summaries, send emails to your team, update documentation, and keep everyone informed — all without you lifting a finger after you commit your code.
Automatically generates and emails a professional project status report every Monday at 6 AM PST.
🧒 Simple Explanation: Every Monday morning, a robot looks at all the work you did last week, writes a report about it, and emails it to your team. It's like having a personal assistant who never forgets to send the weekly update!
Trigger: cron: '0 14 * * 1' (Monday 2 PM UTC / 6 AM PST)
Maintains a complete, organized commit history grouped by month and year — automatically updated after every push.
🧒 Simple Explanation: Every time you save your work, a robot writes it down in a big history book. The book is organized by month, so you can always look back and see what happened in January, February, or any time!
Trigger: push: branches: [main]
Fetches industry news and updates the news page with fresh content every day.
🧒 Simple Explanation: A robot reads newspapers about construction and engineering every day, picks out the interesting stories, and puts them on your website. Your visitors always see fresh news without you doing anything!
Trigger: schedule (daily)
Keeps the events page updated with upcoming industry conferences, webinars, and meetups.
🧒 Simple Explanation: A robot checks calendars every day to find cool events like conferences and classes. It adds them to your website's calendar so visitors always know what's coming up!
Trigger: schedule (daily)
Builds and publishes the Sphinx documentation site to GitHub Pages after every change.
🧒 Simple Explanation: When you update the instruction manual, a robot automatically turns it into a beautiful website that anyone can read. No need to publish anything yourself!
Trigger: push: branches: [main]
You commit code → Everything else is automated:
This is what "infrastructure as code" looks like when done right — the robots handle the busywork so you can focus on building.
