How can we configure Render to only start a preview environment for non-draft PRs / PRs marked ready for review?
Our development process starts in draft, and we only need the hosted environment when work is ready for review. We’d like this to be automatic. Everything about Render’s automation works for us except we’d like to avoid the unnecessary resource use when work is only draft.
That’s a great question and the answer right now would be, you can’t - we have no distinction between draft or ready pull requests. I can’t really think of a workaround that could help here.
That being said, I’m going to send this feature request over to our product team for consideration.
