Just to cross link the issue I created in boring-cyborg - kaxil/boring-cyborg#18

The Github apps are pretty cool too, as there's much more granular restrictions that can be placed on Github Apps, such as read only access etc.

Looking at the Probot documentation it seems like the event to listen to is pull_request.labeled. After searching Github for this string, it seems there's similar art here too - https://github.com/dessant/label-actions - which seems to be using the probot API, but is still a Github Action

dessant/label-actions seems to satisfy your demand so you maybe leave here and use it.

Personally, I am interested in coexisting Probot and GitHub Actions. I will try to do it.

I found a project which shows a workaround as a PoC.

There already is a probot that comments on issues/PRs based on labels you set/remove and also performs actions like closing those and even locking them with optional reasons.

The bot is called Label Actions (https://github.com/apps/label-actions)

Thanks. Your link is the same as above.

This action starts to support the pull_request_target event. This problem has been solved. Thanks.
