Actions not triggering even with Custom App about create-pull-request

[Paddy-Farmeye]

@peter-evans thunderbirds are go ... thanks for your time and prompt resolution.

As you suggested I have set the following permissions on my Github App:

Under Repository permissions: Contents select Access: Read & write.
Under Repository permissions: Pull requests select Access: Read & write.
Under Organization permissions: Members select Access: Read-only.

But I'm wondering if under Repository, do I also need to set values for Actions and/or Checks and/or Commit statuses?, ref:

Hi @Paddy-Farmeye

It looks like the permissions are correct on the app. Is the app installed on the repository where the workflow is running?

Please could you show me a larger screenshot of the PR in GitHub so I can see other details, or a link to it if it's public.

Hi @peter-evans Yes, the app is installed and runs in the action.

Ah, I see the problem. The pull request workflow is not triggering because the branches you specified are not the target of the PR. It's the target branch, not the PR branch that you need to specify here:

on:
 pull_request:
    branches:
-     - devel
-     - release
+     - main

Ah okay, let me give this a go and if all's good I'll close this issue, thanks.
