Automation wont trigger from bot comment GH PR

Hi i want an automation trigger when my code review agent (not cursor) leaves the review comments. it seems like if the comment is automated the automation wont trigger. is there a workaround?

Can you share your automation details? How is the trigger set up?

@Chris_C
Exactly as you have it. i did try an name the bot but the result was the same.

Looks like a known issue, and is working as intended. The workaround is posted here Github Actions commenting @cursor not being detected

Use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of GITHUB_TOKEN in your code review agent’s workflow so the comment is posted as a real GitHub user rather than a bot/GitHub Actions identity. When comments are posted using GITHUB_TOKEN, they’re authored by GitHub Actions and go undetected by Cursor. Swapping that for a PAT makes the comment appear as a human user, which Cursor’s automation trigger picks up normally.
