Freelo Synchronization GitHub action

This action can be used for a one-way synchronization of GitHub issues into Freelo

It will log in as a Freelo user and create tasks/subtasks from created issues. Depending on the set up, it can also update it based on edits made on GitHub (see below).

How to use

Example action.yml showcasing all supported on calls:

name: Run the action

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  issues:
    types: [opened, edited, closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned]
  issue_comment:
    types: [created, edited, deleted]
permissions:
  issues: write
jobs:
  run-my-action:
    name: Sync stuff to Freelo
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: hernikplays/freelo-action@v1
        with:
          email: ""
          api-key: ""
          project-id: ""
          task-id: ""

Warning

It's okay to omit some of the on listening types, but it is needed to keep the issue.opened type, because it creates the task and the comment to track the task across action runs.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
email	E-mail used to log into Freelo; will be the author of all tasks/comments created by this action!	Yes
api-key	API key to authenticate the user	Yes
project-id	ID of the project where tasks will be created	Yes
github-token	GitHub token used to create issue comments; you should use the default secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN	Yes
task-id	ID of the task under which subtasks will be created from issues	If tasklist-id is not set
tasklist-id	ID of the tasklist where tasks will be created from issues	If task-id is not set

Linking GitHub users to Freelo users

The action will look for a freelo.txt file inside of your .github folder (the one where Action workflows are stored). In it you can map GitHub usernames to Freelo IDs, one user per line:

hernikplays:14832
john_doe:6586

If the file cannot be found or cannot be correctly loaded, no mapping will be done and the action will simply use the GitHub username in place of the Freelo ID.

Security

Because I have not found any documentation on how Freelo handles sanitization of input, I've included the usage of sanitize-html to sanitize any user input. The only allowed tags are "a","p","i","b","strong".

If you feel like a security issue has been introduced in the code, feel free to report it.
