What problem does this pull request solve?
We want to set up a flow to to auto-approve some dependabot PRs. PRs will only
be approved if:
npm
updates, andTrello card
Things to consider when reviewing
The workflow will approve PRs even if other checks haven't passed. We have a rule that checks have to pass in order to be able to merge, so we wouldn't be merging it anyway.
Ideally we'd also have this only approve when all checks have passed, but that's beyond my current mental capacity
Local testing
I wanted to try this workflow locally using act but it keep getting an error at the step where we ask it to get the dependabot metadata.
