Auto-respond on specific label #25062
-
|
I was wondering if there exists a GitHub Action for sending specific canned responses (either from the workflow file itself or perhaps pre-made markdown files) if an issue receives a specific label (Maybe even with actions like closing the issue/PR). Would it even be beneficial at all to use a GitHub Action for this in the first place, since it requires to have a server/system to be set up and load all materials and resources, etc. Right now I use a GitHub App (Bot) for doing the auto-message stuff, but I would prefer to switch to GitHub Actions for that if it is possible. |

Firstly you need to trigger the workflow with ‘issue’ event, get the new label name from context value ‘${{ github.event.label.name }}’, according to the label name, determin the respond then. For instance, below code will check if new label ‘bug’ is added and respond accordingly. Hope it helps!

Thanks for the answer, Now I still wonder if it is worth it, to have such a GitHub Action in the first place, due to it requiring a OS to be setup for just a message to be send. |
