Advanced GitHub Sync for SD Elements

This action lets you sync more data between GitHub and SD Elements. It will send comments, tags and manual verifications to SD Elements after they are created in GitHub.

This still requires the GitHub integration with SD Elements to be enabled. This works on top of the issues that get created by SD Elements.

Creating a Workflow

Here is a simple workflow that uses all the features. You can control more/less integration (for example, maybe you don't want to sync tags) by just changing the workflow triggers.

Inputs

• url: The base URL of your SD Elements site. For example, https://mysite.sdelements.com
• apitoken: An API token that you generated. This action only supports Token Authentication.
• project: The project ID that you are syncing issues with. This ID can be found on your dashboard for the project.
• gh_token: A GitHub token that has the ability to read users and their profiles. This is used to grab the email address of the user. We assume that the user in both systems shares the same email address so that they can be referenced. Future improvements for this are planned
