You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to automate your project management tasks by creating workflows. Each workflow contains a series of tasks that are performed automatically every time the workflow runs. For example, you can create a workflow that runs every time an issue is created to add a label, leave a comment, and move the issue onto a project board.
|
|
|
|
### When do workflows run?
|
|
|
|
You can configure your workflows to run on a schedule or be triggered when an event occurs. For example, you can set your workflow to run when someone creates an issue in a repository.
|
|
|
|
Many workflow triggers are useful for automating project management.
|
|
|
|
- An issue is opened, assigned, or labeled.
|
|
- A comment is added to an issue.
|
|
- A project card is created or moved.
|
|
- A scheduled time.
|
|
|
|
For a full list of events that can trigger workflows, see "[Events that trigger workflows](/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows)."
|
|
|
|
### What can workflows do?
|
|
|
|
Workflows can do many things, such as commenting on an issue, adding or removing labels, moving cards on project boards, and opening issues.
|
|
|
|
You can learn about using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} for project management by following these tutorials, which include example workflows that you can adapt to meet your needs.
