Hi @benstear ,

The matrix job status and combination info can be checked from workflow jobs APIs here with GITHUB RUN_ID. 

You can add a 2nd job which needs matrix job, use ‘if: always()’ to make sure job2 will be executed when matrix job fails, code sample as below, my checkrun for your reference.

name: matrixjob
on: [push]
jobs:

job1:

runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

strategy:

fail-fast: false

matrix:

os: [ubuntu-16.04, ubuntu-18.04]

node: [6, 8]
steps:
  - if: matrix.os=='ubuntu-16.04'
    name: sleep
    run: |
      sleep 20
  - if: matrix.os=='ubuntu-18.04'
    name: failstep
    run: |
      exit 1
  - uses: actions/setup-node@v1
    with:
      node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}

job2:

needs: [job1]

if: always()

runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]

steps:

- name: check the jobs # get the matrix job status and combination info

run: |

jobstatus=$(curl -X GET -s -u "admin:${{ secrets.PAT3 }}" https://api.github.com/repos/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}/jobs | jq ".jobs[] | {job_status: .conclusion, matrix: .name}")

echo $jobstatus

Now you get the info you wanted.

If string $jobstatus contains ‘failure’, you can simply mark the whole matrix job status as ‘fail’ ans tranfer to action ‘distributhor/workflow-webhoo’.

Note: action parameter doesn’t accept string $jobstatus, you can set is as env (set-env command)
