FinishKit Watch
Set up continuous monitoring to automatically re-analyze your code when you push changes.
FinishKit Watch monitors your repository and automatically analyzes changes when you push to a watched branch. Instead of manually triggering scans, Watch keeps your production readiness score up to date as your code evolves.
What Watch does
- Push-triggered analysis: When you push to a watched branch, FinishKit analyzes the changes
- Score tracking: Your production readiness score updates after each analysis
- New finding alerts: Newly introduced issues are flagged automatically
- Weekly digest: An email summary of your score trends, new findings, and resolved issues
- Smart cooldown: Rapid consecutive pushes are batched to prevent excessive analysis
Setup
Step 1: Open your project
Go to your Projects list and open the project you want to monitor.
Step 2: Enable Watch
In your project settings, find the Watch configuration and toggle it on.
Step 3: Select branches
Choose which branches to monitor. Most teams watch main or production. You can watch multiple branches.
Step 4: Configure notifications
Set your preferred digest frequency (weekly is the default). Watch sends a summary email with your score trend, new findings, and what was resolved.
How it works
When Watch is enabled:
- You push code to a watched branch
- FinishKit receives a webhook notification from GitHub
- The changes are analyzed against all eight production readiness dimensions
- Your production readiness score is recalculated
- New findings appear in your Finish Plan
- At your configured frequency, you receive a digest email summarizing changes
Watch includes a cooldown period between analyses. If you push multiple times in quick succession, FinishKit batches them into a single analysis rather than running one per push.
What you get
- Updated score after each push: See your production readiness score change over time
- Score history: Track your progress on a trend line across all eight dimensions
- Automatic finding detection: New issues introduced by recent changes are surfaced without manual scans
- Digest emails: Regular summaries of your production readiness status at your preferred frequency
Availability
Watch is available on paid plans. Free plan users can run manual scans from the dashboard or use Intelligence Packs for local analysis.
