+#### Running your workflow when a pull request merges
+
+When a pull request merges, the pull request is automatically closed. To run a workflow when a pull request merges, use the `pull_request` `closed` event type along with a conditional that checks the `merged` value of the event. For example, the following workflow will run whenever a pull request closes. The `if_merged` job will only run if the pull request was also merged.
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  pull_request:
+    types:
+      - closed
+
+jobs:
+  if_merged:
+    if: github.event.pull_request.merged == true
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+    - run: |
+        echo The PR was merged
