- The following activity types must be explicitly specified (detail)
labeled
,unlabeled
,closed
- push to branch (not tag)
- branch name (
TARGET_BRANCH_PREFIX
)
- branch name (
- specified labels included? (
INCLUDE_LABELS
) - branch name (
TARGET_BRANCH_PREFIX
)
The GITHUB_TOKEN
that is provided as a part of GitHub Actions
doesn't have authorization to create any successive events.
So it won't spawn actions which triggered by push.
This can be a problem if you have branch protection configured.
If you want to trigger actions, use a personal access token instead.
- Generate a personal access token with the public_repo or repo scope.
(repo is required for private repositories). - Save as ACCESS_TOKEN
- Add input to use
ACCESS_TOKEN
instead ofGITHUB_TOKEN
.
