Pull request notifications

[antoniovazquezblanco]

Hi there! Thanks for the awesome action! :)

I've been using the action for some time now but there is a single thing that keeps it from being an ideal fit for my use cases.

Currently, the action creates the PRs in my repos but I do not get notifications about that activity and for that reason the changes do not get merged...
I think this is partially due to me using a PAT that makes me the author of the PR. This also prevents me from being the reviewer...

Is there any way of getting notified of this PRs?

Thanks

Hi @antoniovazquezblanco

If you go to notification settings, you can opt to receive email notifications for your own updates. I think that will include pull requests that you've created via a PAT.

I do not have a "customize email updates" in my user notification settings despite being documented in https://docs.github.com/en/subscriptions-and-notifications/get-started/configuring-notifications 😲

Also, I would like to get a notification in the github notifications box if possible...

Do you think I can use the github actions user to create the PR? 🤔

Changing author does not trigger notifications... :(

The Reference Example in README is not reproducible: https://github.com/peter-evans/create-pull-request?tab=readme-ov-file#reference-example

Using a PAT seems to make the token owner to be the one to create the PR and thus cannot be assigned as a reviewer under the error: Error: Review cannot be requested from pull request author. - https://docs.github.com/rest/pulls/review-requests#request-reviewers-for-a-pull-request

Also this prevents the user from getting notified...

Current workarround is adding a step that comments on the PR with a github bot account:

- name: Comment on PR
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  run: gh pr comment ${{ steps.create-pr.outputs.pull-request-number }} --body "@antoniovazquezblanco A new pull request has been created for the Ghidra version bump."

It would be awesome to be able to add this functionality to the action.
