GitHub ACTION

Create Issue

Create a new issue in a repository, optionally with labels, assignees, and a milestone. Provide the repository as an owner/repo string. Labels and assignees are passed by name/login (e.g. bug, octocat) — setting them requires push access to the repo. To comment on an existing issue instead, use Create Issue Comment; to change an existing issue, use Update Issue. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's GitHub account once, then configure and run Create Issue from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "github-create-issue",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    github: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    repoFullname: "Repository",
    title: "Title",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Create Issue inputs
Property Type Description
repoFullname Repository string
The repository in owner/repo format, for example PipedreamHQ/pipedream (not case sensitive). If you pass just a repository name with no owner (e.g. my-repo), the authenticated user is assumed as the owner — convenient for "my repo" requests. Do NOT repeat the repository name as the owner (e.g. my-repo/my-repo); if you don't know the owner, pass only the name or run List Repositories to find it.
Required
title Title string
The title of the issue.
Required
body Body string
The text body of the issue. Supports GitHub-flavored Markdown.
Optional
labels Labels string[]
Label names to add to the issue, e.g. ["bug", "enhancement"]. Labels must already exist in the repository. Requires push access.
Optional
assignees Assignees string[]
GitHub logins to assign to the issue, e.g. ["octocat"]. Requires push access.
Optional
milestoneNumber Milestone Number integer
The number of an existing milestone to associate with the issue.
Optional
