Hi Evan, This is a built-in Github Action event ‘issue_comment’ that monitors comment on pull requests and re-triggers the job. In the job-related .yml file there is an if expression to filter the comment. See the example here: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/.github/workflows/beam_PreCommit_SQL.yml#L72

What is the bot/service used that allows for PR authors to leave comments like Run Java PreCommit in order to retry specific Github Actions? This is super valuable for maintaining velocity of PR authors that are not yet committers, and would otherwise not be able to re-trigger failed/flaky tests. I’d like to emulate this behaviour for another Apache OSS project. Thanks! - Evan
