## GitHub Trigger Event Types

When creating a workflow with a GitHub trigger, you can choose from the following event types:

| Event Type | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **PR Opened** | Triggers when a new pull request is opened |
| **PR Merged** | Triggers when a pull request is merged |
| **Label Added** | Triggers when a specific label is added to an issue or PR |
| **Issue Opened** | Triggers when a new issue is created |
| **PR Review Comment** | Triggers when a review comment is added to a pull request |
| **Check Failed** | Triggers when a CI check suite fails |

A task kicked off by a trigger receives a summary of the event, which is appended to the Agent's prompt.

For example, an agent triggered by an `Issue Opened` trigger would see:

```
Issue #123 was opened: Login page crashes on mobile devices
Issue URL: https://github.com/acme/webapp/issues/123
```

You can see the full initial prompt for a specific task in its logs.
