## Work with Other Auto Label Actions > [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token#using-the-github_token-in-a-workflow) > > When you use the repository's `GITHUB_TOKEN` to perform tasks, events triggered by the `GITHUB_TOKEN`, with the exception of `workflow_dispatch` and `repository_dispatch`, will not create a new workflow run. This prevents you from accidentally creating recursive workflow runs. For example, if a workflow run pushes code using the repository's `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a new workflow will not run even when the repository contains a workflow configured to run when `push` events occur. You need to provide a personal access token (with [`public_repo`] for a public repository, [`repo`] for a private repository) to an auto label GitHub Actions or GitHub Bot like [actions/labeler](https://github.com/actions/labeler). [`public_repo`]: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=actions-label-commenter&scopes=public_repo [`repo`]: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=actions-label-commenter&scopes=repo ```yaml # .github/workflows/labeler.yml name: "Pull Request Labeler" on: - pull_request_target jobs: triage: runs-on: ubuntu-20.04 permissions: {} timeout-minutes: 1 steps: - uses: actions/labeler@v3 with: repo-token: "${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}" ``` Scenario: 1. Someone updates the README.md and opens a pull-request. 1. actions/labeler adds the documentation label automatically. 1. peaceiris/actions-label-commenter creates the template comment automatically.
