What

This looks for all GitHub Zendesk references within an issue. It tries to find the github.zendesk.com domain based links.

This Action is for composability and doesn't take any action itself but outputs what it finds for you.

steps.id.outputs.length is the number of unique references
steps.id.outputs.zeds is the list of unique references in the format [ZD-670378,ZD-782708]

Why

Use this to auto-label issues with support references. The unique count of references can also be used to create a weighting system.

Usage

Here's an example that labels all Zendesk references.

name: Label all Zendesk References

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created, deleted, edited]
  issues:
    types: [opened, edited]

jobs:
  label-zed:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: clarkbw/extract-zds@main
        id: find-zds
        with:
          token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
      - name: Echo ZDs
        run: |
          echo "${{steps.find-zds.outputs.zeds}}"
      - uses: actions/github-script@v2
        if: steps.find-zds.outputs.length > 0
        with:
          github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
          script: |
            const issue = context.payload.issue;
            const zeds = ${{ steps.find-zds.outputs.zeds }};
            if (zeds.length <= 0) {
              return; // double checking there are no zeds
            }
            github.issues.addLabels({
              issue_number: issue.number,
              owner: context.repo.owner,
              repo: context.repo.repo,
              labels: ['support']
            })
