This GitHub Action allows you to notify users or teams when specific labels are added to an issue. It runs every time a label is attached to an issue, and compares the label to the list of notification recipients that you specify. If a match is found, the action will add a comment to the issue and @mention the notification recipients.
Create a workflow .yml file in your repositories .github/workflows directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.
recipients: A map of labels and which individuals or teams to notify. Multiple labels can be configured by putting each on a newline. Multiple teams and/or individuals can be configured for each label by putting a space between them.message: (Optional) The message to include in the comment. Must include at least{receipients}but can also include{label}. See the default message in the action.yml file.
