    types: [published]

    steps:
      - name: Close issues marked as fixed upon a release.
        uses: gcampbell/fixed-pending-release/@x.x.x
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          label: fixed-pending-release
          message: ":tada: This issue has now been fixed and is now available in the latest release! :tada:"

Note that this action is triggered by the release.published event, which occurs when a new release is published in your repository. Additionally, if there are cases where you want to use this manually, you should use workflow_dispatch and you should likely set isExternalLaunch to "true".

There are a couple of assumptions that this GitHub Actions makes.

1. The most recent release that you published (pre-release or official) is the release that fixes all issues marked as fixed upon a new release.
   1. This assumption is not made when isExternalRelease is "true".

This action has the following inputs:

• token (optional): Your GitHub access token. You can use ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }} to access the value you set as actions repository secret. Default value will be ${{ github.token }}.
• label (option): The label that specifies issues that should be closed upon release.
• message (optional): The message to be included in the comment. This is passed to the action as a lodash template string. Available variables, when isExternalRelease is true, include: releaseName, releaseTag, releaseUrl.
• isExternalRelease (optional): Boolean indicating whether the release is external to GitHub. If it is, no GitHub release will be used and thus the above variables aren't available.
