 # Issue From Template
 
-This action opens a new issue from an issue template. It parses the template's front matter and the body, then posts [an API request to open an issue](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues/issues#create-an-issue). Works best with a [scheduled workflow](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#schedule) and the [Auto Closer](https://github.com/lowply/auto-closer) action.

+- `IFT_TEMPLATE_NAME` (*required*): The name of the issue template. For example, `report.md`. This action will look for the template file in the `.github` directory. **Note that it will not look for any sub directories** including the `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE` directory.
