Feature request: Filter by author

Hi, thank you for this Action, it's really useful for me! I'm using it to help automate Dependabot changelogs.
It would be great if I could make it only look at PRs opened by certain authors (in my case, Dependabot). Is that possible?

This is my use case, basically this Action just needs to leave a comment on Dependabot pull requests to tell it to recreate the PR: https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer/UniversalMediaServer/blob/cd219026f348853c4bcb1e971160af54c352a90a/.github/workflows/pull-request-conflict.yaml and that works along with this step https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer/UniversalMediaServer/blob/cd219026f348853c4bcb1e971160af54c352a90a/.github/workflows/ci.yaml#L258-L275 which updates the changelog in the Dependabot PRs

Can't you do this on your own by skipping the action via if? E.g.

steps:
  - name: check if prs are dirty
    if: ${{ github.event.pull_request.user.login == 'dependabot' }
    uses: eps1lon/actions-label-merge-conflict@v3

Good idea, I'll try it and report back

This is working well, thank you!

@eps1lon I don't think it is working. It needs to match the author of the open Pull Requests that are being checked, not the one that triggers the action.

Same issue I'm trying to solve. But I will probably just add the label and the label will then trigger adding a comment. Thus I have the context of the PR available. At least thats the plan.

Well, that didn't work out so well...

Workflows will not run on pull_request activity if the pull request has a merge conflict. The merge conflict must be resolved first.
