github.issue_comment

This event occurs when there is a comment on an issue. Github considers issues and pull_requests to both be issues, but we have separated these events for clarity.

@on("github.issue_comment")
def agent(input):
    pass

The following is an example payload which is passed in as an argument to your agent’s entrypoint:
