I know you can set it up so that the job only executes when there is a merge request to a specific branch but I don't want it to execute when the merge request is created, I want it to execute when the merge request is actually merged. I currently have it like this:

rules:
    - if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "master"'

But as I said this is not what I want. I also tried this:

rules:
    - if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "master" && $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_APPROVED'

This did not work either. I know it is possible using the only keyword but I cannot use only I need to use rules. Would love some insight!

Isn't that the same as triggering on a commit to the target branch? – jonrsharpe Jul 20 '21 at 20:57
It is but I do not want it to trigger on every commit just the commit from the merge request. – ebrake Jul 21 '21 at 14:36
