Default: ${{ github.token }}

GitHub token

message*

Markdown content you want to post as comment

ignore-label

Ignore posting comment when this label is found on the issue. This is helpful if you have internal issues and you apply label to them and you don't want this action to post comment each time.

only-if-label

Only post comment if this label is found on the issue. This is helpful in scenarios where you apply specific label to issues where your team will respond. Like in our case all our issue created by customer has support label and we want to comment that we will get back you within 1-2 business days.

Do note that if ignore-label is also found with this label then action will omit processing.

Example Usage

NOTE: Do update action version jd-0001/gh-action-comment-on-new-issue@{YOUR_DESIRED_VERSION}. This will help you keep using this action if we introduce breaking changes.
