The Upcoming changes to GitHub Events API payloads
post to the ChangeLog over the weekend mentions the REST API but doesn't mention if event payloads sent to GitHub Actions are also affected. I would think they would be but I want to make sure. Also is there a list of the actual fields that are to be removed? We really need this ahead of time.

Hi @gtjoseph,

yes, the upcoming changes to the GitHub Events API payloads will also affect event payloads delivered to GitHub Actions.

Regarding the list of fields to be removed, GitHub has not yet provided a comprehensive list. However, you can monitor the official GitHub Changelog and the GitHub Actions documentation for updates:

• GitHub Changelog: https://github.blog/changelog/
• GitHub Actions Documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/actions

Hope this helps!

@JustOfPlay Thanks for the confirmation on the event payloads. Yeah, I already subscribe to the Blog/ChangeLog. That's how I knew it was coming.
