GitHub
Core answers people who mention it in your repository's issues and pull requests.
If your product has a public repository, link it to a project. Anyone who mentions @complaintrbot in an issue or pull request comment gets an answer from Core, can file a complaint, or can be passed to a person.
Connect a repository
- Create at least one project in Projects.
- In the sidebar, open Integrations, choose GitHub Issues, then click Connect a repository.
- Install the Complaintr GitHub App on the repositories you want to monitor and return to Complaintr.
- Choose a Complaintr project from Select project.
- Click Link beside each repository that should report to that project.
- Mention @complaintrbot in an issue or pull request comment and describe the problem. The assistant asks any follow-up questions and files the complaint after you confirm in a reply that also mentions the bot.
You need both the GitHub App installation and a repository link. Several repositories can point to the same project. To stop, open Integrations > GitHub Issues and unlink the repository.
Talk to the bot
Mention the bot and write in plain words. There are no commands.
@complaintrbot Exporting a report to PDF fails when it has more than 50 rows.
The download starts and then stops with an empty file.The bot replies on the thread, asks follow-up questions, and shows a summary. To approve or decline, write a new comment that mentions the bot and says yes or no. Mentions inside code blocks are ignored.
Complaints include the repository, the issue or pull request, and a link to the comment. When Core passes a message to a person, it links the thread under Needs follow-up, so you can answer there.
Images and videos
Paste a screenshot or a screen recording into the comment that mentions the bot. It reads images and videos uploaded to GitHub, in public and private repositories, while it writes the complaint. Up to 4 images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP, 10 MB each) and 1 video (MP4, MOV, or WebM, 50 MB) per message. A video reaches the assistant without its sound. The files appear under Attachments on the complaint.
Test it
Mention the bot on a linked repository, approve the summary in a new mention, and find the complaint in the Inbox with the GitHub source.
