Define the criteria that must pass before code can merge, deploy, or release.
Promotion gates are configurable checkpoints in your delivery pipeline. They combine test results, coverage, security scans, and manual approvals.
Gate stages
| Merge gate | Required before PR merge: tests pass, coverage met, no critical bugs |
| Deploy gate | Required before staging deploy: merge gate passed, security scan clean |
| Release gate | Required before production: deploy gate passed, release readiness score >= 80 |
Custom criteria
Add custom checks via webhooks. When a gate evaluates, Check Studio POSTs to your endpoint and expects a 200 for pass.
