I am attempting to allow Jira Automation to make rest calls (into GitHub) via a web request automation. I currently use personal access tokens to achieve this, but I am attempting to convert to a custom GitHub App configuration (so things like SSO are not an issue).
The standard way is to use a PEM file (an a language like Node/Python) to handle challenge/response to be able to get the actual token to successfully make the rest calls. Currently this in't a capability in Automation.
Has anyone else been successful in this type of interaction with GitHub? How have you handled this interaction. Is the alternative to actually create a forge app to address this interaction?
Thx
