Seat Count Action

A simple Action to count the remaining seats in an GitHub plan. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other actions to do something like notify the user when there are less than 10 seats remaining.

The values output from this action could be from the organization or the enterprise depending on the GitHub plan.

Usage

Create a workflow (eg: .github/workflows/seat-count.yml). See Creating a Workflow file.

You will need to create a PAT(Personal Access Token) that has admin:org access.

Add this PAT as a secret so we can use it as input github-token, see Creating encrypted secrets for a repository.

Organizations

If your organization has SAML enabled you must authorize the PAT, see Authorizing a personal access token for use with SAML single sign-on.

Example: Check seat count every day at 12:00 AM

name: Check Seat Count
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: 0 0 * * *

jobs:
  seats:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: austenstone/seat-count-action@v3
        id: seats
        with:
          github-token: ${{secrets.TOKEN}}
    outputs:
      percentage: ${{steps.seats.outputs.percentage}}
      remaining: ${{steps.seats.outputs.remaining}}
  less-than-10:
    needs: [seats]
    if: needs.seats.outputs.remaining < 10
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Only ${{needs.seats.outputs.remaining}} GitHub seats remaining!"
