Automating gr2m/helpdesk: Issue Forms part III

3rd and final part about the issue form automation. The flow is working now and I'll go through showing how it works.

See the first two episodes

• 📅 6/28 @ noon PT - Automating gr2m/helpdesk: issue forms #34
• 📅 8/5 @ 10am PT - Automating gr2m/helpdesk: issue forms part II #42

Outline

• Explain the flow from creating an issue using an issue form, and the parsing of the newly created issue into a form which works with the existing automation around upcoming shows.
• Show how I created local tests for the flow, so I don't need to create new issues and wait for actions to run just to check if my code changes work. It allows for much quicker iteration
