To run Happo in GitHub Actions, install it in your frontend repository, configure the browser targets you need, store its API key and secret as GitHub Actions secrets, and run npx happo on pull requests and pushes to your default branch. Run the default branch first so pull requests have a baseline to compare against. The setup is not India-specific; the local billing details that matter—such as INR conversion, GST invoicing and payment-method availability—need confirmation from Happo.

Before you add Happo to CI

Choose the integration that matches your UI

Happo supports a general CI flow and integrations for Storybook, Playwright and Cypress. If your visual tests use Playwright or Cypress, follow Happo’s dedicated integration guide rather than treating the generic CLI workflow below as the complete setup. Storybook projects should likewise use Happo’s Storybook integration. Happo describes its product as comparing screenshots across browser and viewport targets, with optional accessibility regression checks. See its product overview.

Estimate snapshot use

Happo defines a snapshot as one component variant captured in one browser. Estimate monthly demand as component variants × browsers × Happo runs per month. For example, 40 variants across two browsers, on 30 CI runs in a month, would mean about 2,400 snapshots, before accounting for additional variants, targets or runs. Use the estimate to decide which browsers are essential and whether your expected volume fits a plan.

Install Happo and configure targets

  1. In the frontend repository, install Happo as a development dependency with npm:

    npm install --save-dev happo

    Happo also documents pnpm and Yarn installation alternatives in its repository README.

  2. Create or update happo.config.ts in the repository root. Configure the API credentials through environment variables and select browser targets that match your product. Happo’s README illustrates Chrome, Firefox and iOS Safari targets; available browser coverage depends on the plan.

  3. Commit the configuration, but do not put credential values in it. The workflow will provide HAPPO_API_KEY and HAPPO_API_SECRET at runtime.

Store credentials in GitHub Actions secrets

  1. In the GitHub repository, open Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions.

    Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  2. Create repository secrets named HAPPO_API_KEY and HAPPO_API_SECRET, using the values from your Happo account.

  3. Reference those secrets as environment variables only in the workflow step that runs Happo. Do not hard-code them in a committed YAML file, configuration file, or command-line argument.

Add the GitHub Actions workflow

Create .github/workflows/happo.yml with the following workflow. It follows Happo’s documented GitHub Actions pattern: check out the pull-request head when applicable, fetch enough history and the base branch, install dependencies, and run the CLI with secrets exposed only to that step. This example assumes the default branch is named main.

name: Happo CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
jobs:
  happo:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.ref }}
          fetch-depth: 100
      - name: Fetch main branch
        if: github.ref != 'refs/heads/main'
        run: git fetch origin main:main
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npx happo
        env:
          HAPPO_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.HAPPO_API_KEY }}
          HAPPO_API_SECRET: ${{ secrets.HAPPO_API_SECRET }}

For repositories whose default branch is not main, change the push branch and fetch command to the actual branch, and configure Happo’s documented base-branch option where needed. Check the current versions and syntax of the GitHub Actions referenced in the example when adopting it.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Run the baseline branch first

Happo’s CI CLI uses the default branch and pull-request merge base when choosing comparisons. The default branch therefore needs a successful run to create the report that pull-request runs compare with. Keep the workflow enabled for pushes to that branch; enabling only pull-request runs can leave the team without a baseline. The CLI can create a report for the current commit, compare reports and post a status when it has permission to do so. Happo’s Continuous Integration documentation explains its CI behavior and says, “Adding Happo to your Continuous Integration setup is the best way to catch visual regressions early.”

Check the run and tune the setup

  • Confirm the first default-branch report: run or merge the workflow on the base branch before expecting pull-request comparisons.
  • Verify target relevance: prioritize browsers and viewports your customers use rather than adding targets without a product need.
  • Review permissions: if Happo cannot post a pull-request status, check the workflow’s GitHub token permissions and repository policy.
  • Keep the integration specific: Storybook, Playwright and Cypress may require their respective Happo integrations in addition to CI orchestration.

Common setup problems

Symptom Likely cause What to check
Authentication fails A secret is missing, named differently, or not available to this workflow. Confirm the repository secrets are exactly HAPPO_API_KEY and HAPPO_API_SECRET, then confirm both names are mapped in the Happo step’s env.
No useful baseline or comparison The default branch has not produced a Happo report, or the workflow is fetching the wrong branch/history. Run the workflow on the default branch; check fetch-depth, the fetch command, and Happo’s base-branch configuration.
Pull-request workflow uses the wrong commit Checkout is pointed at the base branch or current ref instead of the pull-request head. Use the pull-request head SHA in checkout as shown, and verify behavior for the event types enabled in your repository.
Happo reports no screenshots or incomplete visual coverage The generic CLI flow may not include the required framework integration, or targets do not cover the intended UI. Use the dedicated Storybook, Playwright or Cypress guide as applicable and verify the configured variants and browser targets.
Pull-request status is absent The workflow may lack permission to write status information, or repository settings may restrict it. Review GitHub Actions token permissions and organization-level workflow policy.

Happo pricing and India-specific checks

Happo’s pricing page lists the following vendor-published USD terms. Browser access and snapshot quotas differ by plan; confirm the live terms before subscribing.

The pricing page lists additional snapshots at $0.006 each on the Starter, Growth and Pro tiers. These are Happo’s published plan terms, not an India-specific total. The reviewed pricing information does not establish INR pricing or conversion, GST treatment, Indian payment-method availability, or data-residency terms. It mentions credit card, ACH and wire through Stripe but does not establish which options are available to an Indian startup. Confirm currency, tax invoice requirements, payment options and any contractual data-location requirements with Happo before budgeting.

It includes 1,000 screenshots a month free with no card, and paid plans start at $5 for 3,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Happo’s GitHub Actions setup change for an Indian startup?

The documented workflow is not India-specific. The unresolved India-specific matters are local billing and contractual terms, which should be confirmed with Happo.

Can this generic workflow replace Happo’s Playwright or Cypress integration?

No. Use the dedicated Happo integration guide for Playwright or Cypress; the generic CI setup is not a complete framework integration.
