# 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.

```python theme={null}
@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:

<CodeGroup>
