Try this workflow, it should echo "Event triggered!" when you comment “/qa” on a pull request.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks but I tried the workflow and it’s not triggered. Also added the dump context that should be triggered for any comment and the same result.

name: Test action on PR comment
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
jobs:

test-action:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- name: Dump GitHub context

env:

GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}

run: echo "$GITHUB_CONTEXT"

- name: Test action on PR comment

if: ${{ github.event.issue.pull_request && contains(github.event.comment.body, '/qa') }}

run: echo "Event triggered!"

@mcanaves ,

This should work.
I also set up a workflow like as below to test on my side:

name: Issues
on:

issue_comment:

types: [created]
jobs:

job1:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- name: view the github context

run: echo "$GITHUB_CONTEXT"

env:

GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}
job2:

if: ${{ github.event.issue.pull_request && contains(github.event.comment.body, '/qa') }}

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- name: run for PR

run: echo "Triggered for PR!"

When I added a comment (contains ‘/qa’) on a PR, job2 can run normally as expected. See the example workflow run.

When I added a comment (contains ‘/qa’) on a issue, job2 was skipped, this also is the expected result. See the example workflow run.
