Automatic Approve

Automatically approve workflow runs from first time contributors. This action is designed to be run on a schedule within your organisation.

When executing, this action:

• Loads all workflow runs with a status of action_required (needs approval)
• Fetches the pull request for that run and the list of modified files
• If a filename containing .github/workflows has been edited, the run will not be approved
• Approve the workflow run using the provided access token

If you run a file as part of your workflow (e.g. build.js) make sure to add that file to the dangerous_files input to prevent automatic approval
