Create GitHub issue

github.createIssue creates an issue in a repository accessible to the GitHub App installation.

automations/create-github-issue.automation.ts

import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { github } from "automate.ax/github"

export default automation("Create GitHub issue", () => {
  onDashboardRun({ title: "Create GitHub issue" })
  github.createIssue({
    owner: "SentsCo",
    repository: "automate.ax",
    title: "Investigate webhook delivery",
    body: "Review the production delivery logs.",
    labels: ["bug"],
  })
})

Provide owner, repository, and title, which accepts a string or integer. Optional fields are body, assignees, labels, milestone, issueFieldValues, and type. milestone and type also accept null. milestone accepts a string or integer. labels accepts names or objects with optional id, name, description, and color. Each custom issue field value has an integer fieldId and a string, number, or string-array value. Optional second argument { account } selects the GitHub binding. Inputs accept compatible signals. Returns the created issue’s id, number, and title. The installation needs Issues write permission. Setting assignees, labels, a milestone, or an issue type requires push access; GitHub silently drops those fields without it. Custom issue fields are available only for organization-owned repositories with that feature enabled and are otherwise silently dropped.
