On GitHub issue event

onGitHubIssueEvent exposes the broad GitHub issues webhook family. Use it for actions that do not have a semantic trigger.

automations/watch-github-issues.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { onGitHubIssueEvent } from "automate.ax/github"

export default automation("Watch GitHub issues", () => {
  const event = onGitHubIssueEvent()
  event.transform(({ action, issue, repository }) => ({
    action,
    issueNumber: issue.number,
    repository: repository.full_name,
  }))
})

Optional static account defaults to the project’s GitHub App installation binding and cannot be a signal. The installation receives events only for repositories it can access and needs Issues read permission. Returns Signal<GitHubIssueEvent>, GitHub’s typed issue webhook union. It includes action, issue, repository, sender, installation, and action-specific fields. Prefer On GitHub issue opened, reopened, or closed for those common cases.
