Passing PR for action

[brunomiranda-hotmart]

Instead of using on: pull_request_target we would like to run as a cron:

on:
  schedule:
  - cron: '*/30 4-7 * * 1-4'

So it only merges during dawn and doesn't get in the way of our devs.

Does this configuration work?
If not would it be possible to change the action to have the pull request number (or url)?

👋 sorry for the slow reply.

This action only fetches metadata, it does not do the automerging itself. The automerge examples on the readme are demonstrating how to write your own GitHub Actions workflow file that leverages the metadata provided by this action in order to decide whether to take additional steps... such as automerging.

So when you write your workflow file, then you decide how you wish to run it--cron, whatever.

@jeffwidman for the cron event example mentioned, how can we get dependabot metadata from pull request data(i.e. number, url)?
