What it does

When your Jira ticket moves to In Progress with the product_approved label, this workflow automatically enriches it with service and team data from Port and creates a structured GitHub issue for you. It then assigns the task to GitHub Copilot to generate a resolution and links the resulting pull request back to your original Jira ticket so you can track progress seamlessly.

Watch out for

Port API rate limits can block context retrieval, add a retry mechanism with exponential backoff.
Jira ticket descriptions often contain sensitive data so sanitize input before sending it to Copilot.
GitHub issue creation may fail if the assignee lacks permissions, verify role access beforehand.
Copilot might generate code that does not match the team's style guide, enforce linting in the PR template.
