It’s the allure of the marketplace that gets people. They’re like “oh I could parse my test report files and upload all of them somewhere and render them with a nice output on my pr! I could spend a week writing and testing all of this or I can slap this action here into the YAML and be done with it in 10 minutes.
The trap and tradeoff is that the thirtieth time you’ve done that is when you realize you’ve screwed yourself and the organization by building this Byzantine half baked DAG with a very sketchy security story that you can’t step through, run locally or test
Your action can be empty and actions generate webhook events.
Do whatever you want with the webhook.
