Cursor Automation trigger for PR Comment does not seem to be running

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

Describe the Bug

Cursor Automation trigger for PR Comment does not seem to be running. The automation itself runs fine if I manually trigger it, however, the pr comment trigger does not seem to be getting hit.

Steps to Reproduce

In my case, I had an automation set to run when a github actions bot comments on a pr with a specific keyword “Deploy finished. Status: success”
However, Cursor all of a sudden stopped catching those triggers. It was working yesterday, but not anymore

Operating System

MacOS

Version Information

Running Cursor Automations

For AI issues: which model did you use?

NA since it never triggered

Additional Information

The issue may be with the comment Keyword. However, it was working yesterday. And I have no logs to be able to verify this myself.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hi @Omar_Shoura Thanks for reporting. This is a known limitation (the code filters out bot comments to prevent endless loops). Take a look at Dean’s workaround here, it’s really good: Automations - reacting to bot PR comments - #3
