🤖 Automate GitHub Project cards with any webhook event

This action allows you to use any of the pull_request and issue webhook events to automate your project cards. For example when an issue is opened create a card in the Backlog project, Triage column.

If the pull_request or issue has a card it will be moved to the column provided. Otherwise the card will be created in the column.

1. Create a new workflow by adding .github/workflows/backlog-automation.yml to your project.
2. Create a project with Columns set up in your repository or organisation.
3. In the backlog-automation.yml you have to decide what events and actions are going move an issue or pull request to a column.

For example:

To move opened issues into the Triage column and assigned pull requests into the To Do column of the Backlog project. You would add the following to the backlog-automation.yml file:

name: Automate project columns

on: [issues, pull_request]

jobs:
  automate-project-columns:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Move new issues into Triage
        if: github.event_name == 'issues' && github.event.action == 'opened'
        uses: alex-page/automate-project-columns@master
        with:
          project: Backlog
          column: Triage
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Move assinged pull requests into To do
        if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.action == 'assigned'
        uses: alex-page/automate-project-columns@master
        with:
          project: Backlog
          column: To do
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
