Label Issues that Need Attention When Author Responds

Applies a label whenever the original author of an issue adds a comment to an issue that needed their response.

How It Works

If the original author of an issue adds a comment on their issue, and that issue has a 'Needs Author Feedback' label, this action will remove the label and apply a 'Needs Attention' label.

Inputs

response-required-label

The name of the label that indicates an issue that needs a response from the author. Default "Needs Author Feedback".

needs-attention-label

The name of the label that indicates an issue that needs attention. Default "Needs Attention".

repo-token

Required. The GITHUB_TOKEN for the repository being acted on.

Outputs
