Github Actions commenting @cursor not being detected

Support Help
1

Hi, I’m not sure whether this is a bug or intended behavior, but I created a workflow that posts the following comment: @cursor fix this issue.

When I add this comment manually on open Github issues in our repository, it’s usually detected by the Cursor bot within seconds and it fixes the issue (mostly removing feature flags) then opens a PR like instructed.

The problem is that when the workflow posts the comment, it’s authored by GitHub Actions, and it doesn’t seem to be detected by the bot. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey, thanks for the report!

This is most likely intended behavior. Comments from bots (including GitHub Actions) may be intentionally filtered for security reasons.

I’ll pass this to the team to confirm. For now, here’s a workaround: use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of GITHUB_TOKEN in your workflow so the comment is posted by a real user.

I’ll let you know once I hear back from the team.

Alright thank you for the quick reply
