You can now add auto_merge: true to merge_protection_settings to automatically merge PRs when all your merge protection success_conditions are met. If the merge queue is enabled, PRs are queued automatically; without it, they are merged directly.
This replaces autoqueue in queue_rules, which is now deprecated and will stop working on July 16, 2026. If you currently use autoqueue, Mergify will automatically open a pull request to migrate your configuration.
Note that auto_merge applies globally to all queue rules, unlike autoqueue which was set per rule.
