• NEXMO_API_KEY - Your Nexmo API Key.
• NEXMO_API_SECRET - Your Nexmo API Secret.
• NEXMO_NUMBER - A number on your Nexmo account without any spaces or symbols. Example: 15551231234.

Event Information

All of the information attached to an event is available in the github.event variable. To see the possible values, you can use the following step in your workflow:

- run: echo '${{ toJson(github.event) }}'

You can use this information in both the inputs for your action and to run the action conditionally.

Here's an example of sending an SMS any time an issue is created with the urgent label:

name: Issue

  issues:
    types: [labeled]

  send-sms:
    name: Send SMS
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Send SMS
      uses: nexmo-community/nexmo-sms-action@main
      env:
        NEXMO_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.NEXMO_API_KEY }}
        NEXMO_API_SECRET: ${{ secrets.NEXMO_API_SECRET }}
      with:
