This might be caused by a malformed issue title, or a typo in the labels or assignees.

• I am getting below error and I have tried many changes in the template file, used default one but getting this error every time.

• It also says bad credentials, can it be because of token that I am using is missing some required permissions?

• Example Issue template that I used:

---
title: Someone just pushed
assignees: 1uc1f3r616
labels: bug
---
Someone just pushed, oh no! Here's who did it: {{ payload.sender.login }}.

• Actions template

on: [pull_request]
name: dependabot bot issue
jobs:
  stuff:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: JasonEtco/create-an-issue@v2
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.MY_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          filename: .github/dependabot.md

I created my own GitHub Token but now I thought that this might be server-side secret and has to be what you have put in the examples ie. GITHUB_TOKEN only. So I changed it and now error is slightly different

It's giving Resource not accessible by integration error now

👋 It's a little unclear, but the GitHub API sometimes returns this if the token doesn't have enough access to:

• Know that that user exists
• Can be assigned to the issue

If the built-in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN works for your use-case, you should use that.

Hi,

I faced the same issue when I tried to use my other account to open an issue on repository owned by this account.

I think one of the reasons is because the secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN my other account has doesn't have enough permission to create an issue in the repo belong to current account, right? Any idea to solve this?

Thanks.

(Realizing it's way too late to be helpful, but): Actions' GITHUB_TOKEN is scoped to the repository it's running in. You can use a personal access token to make requests to a different repository.
