Can CircleCI do anything with PR close or branch delete events sent by GitHub webhooks. I’m tryin to create a job that does something based on one of those events, and while GitHub says it gets a HTTP 200 from CircleCI when these events are sent, nothing happens in CircleCI.

Hi @jmdhcs - CircleCI does not build for PR Close or Branch Deletion events. However, when a branch is deleted, it will be removed from the branch picker list. (The historical builds will remain on the account.)

Thanks for comment @Sara. What we’re looking for is this, from CircleCI’s ideas board: [https://circleci.com/ideas/?idea=CCI-I-177](https://circleci.com/ideas/?idea=CCI-I-177)
