Background

We are running two GitHub Actions Workflow.

1. workflow_dispatch event: Close stale pull requests with GitHub App
2. pull_request closed event: Create issues regarding closed pull requests with GitHub App

We call GitHub API with GitHub App to close pull requests.
We use this GitHub Actions to issue GitHub Token.

GitHub - tibdex/github-app-token: Impersonate a GitHub App in a GitHub Action

Impersonate a GitHub App in a GitHub Action. Contribute to tibdex/github-app-token development by creating an account on GitHub.

Problem

Sometimes GitHub Actions Workflows (2) aren’t triggered even if pull requests are closed.
We think there is no problem with permission because sometimes GitHub Actions Workflows are appropriately triggered.

Do you have any ideas why sometimes GitHub Actions Workflows aren’t triggered expectedly?
