devops-actions/issue-comment-tag

Tag a user or a team in an issue comment

Sometimes you want to tag a team or multiple persons when an issue (or something else) is created. This action will help you do that by tagging them in an issue.

Note: only tagging a single person or team is currently supported.

Usage:

  - uses: devops-actions/[email protected]
    with:
      team: < insert team or user name >
      issue: ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
      owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
      repo: ${{ github.repository }}
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Example workflow:

on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
    
jobs:
  tag-a-user:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - uses: devops-actions/[email protected]
        name: Tag a user or team in an issue comment
        with: 
          issue: ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
          team: < insert team or user name >
          owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
          repo: ${{ github.repository }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Tagging an internal team or user

If you need to tag an internal team @<org name>/team or user, then you need to send in a Personal Access Token to do so: the normal GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have access outside the current repository, which also means it cannot see the users in the organization.
