Check in Bot is a simple GitHub Action to send automated messages to inactive issues and pull requests. It does not and will never do the following:
- Add labels to issues and pull requests
- Close issues and pull requests
By default this action sends the following message to issues and pull requests that are inactive for 14 or more days:
Hello to the maintainers and watchers!
There have been no updates here for 14 days. There might be need for a check in :)
Thanks and hope all are well! ❤️
The default message is meant to remind the community around a project that there may be need to assist a new contributor, communicate that a review is taking some time and overall to facilitate communication between people who may have forgotten about something or need help.
Happy community building!
