GitHub Action to get issues and then call an HTTP endpoint

This action gets the issues in a repository marked with specified label. After that it posts those issues to a HTTP endpoint (Flow or Logic App) which can then post those issues in a nicely formatted way to a Teams channel.

Pre-requisites

The action requires a HTTP triggered Flow to be created. So please make sure to create Flow like this one before using this action.

Inputs

The action requires the following inputs:

  • githubToken : The GitHub Secret Token.
  • filterLabel : The label with which the required issues are tagged. e.g. bug
  • filterState : The state of the required issues. e.g. open
  • httpEndpoint : The URL of the HTTP triggered Flow created earlier. (Found in the first step of the Flow)
