Does this work with PRs from forks?

[alanhartless]

I'd like to implement this in our "read the docs" repository where contributors contribute PRs from their personal (public) forks. My goal is to auto merge labeled PRs into a development branch so that Read the Docs will auto-build the latest developer docs to make it easy to view content/changes introduced by PRs.

But I keep getting this error:

/usr/local/bundle/gems/octokit-4.14.0/lib/octokit/response/raise_error.rb:16:in `on_complete': POST https://api.github.com/repos/mautic/developer-documentation-new/merges: 403 - Resource not accessible by integration

I'm using the following for the action

name: Merge branch with labeled
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [labeled]
jobs:
  merge-branch:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master

      - name: Merge by labeled
        uses: devmasx/merge-branch@1.4.0
        with:
          label_name: 'review'
          target_branch: 'development'
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Any thoughts?

Hi @alanhartless , have you been able to progress in this issue? I'm currently facing the same problem. Thanks!

@alanhartless FYI. Did get over it creating a personal token and providing more permissions than standard GITHUB_TOKEN has.

For full info take a look here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

@pegonzalezs any chance you could elaborate...which permissions?
