Feature Request: Add Customizable Greeting Message for New Contributors

[grasmarcussanti129]

Feature Request

Description

Currently, the Greetings workflow welcomes first-time issue reporters and pull request authors with a default message. It would be beneficial to allow repository maintainers to customize this greeting message to better reflect the project's tone and encourage a positive interaction with new contributors.

Proposed Solution

1. Add a Configuration Option: Introduce a configuration file or parameters within the existing greetings workflow that allows maintainers to specify a custom greeting message.
2. Environment Variable Support: Consider allowing the greeting message to be set using environment variables for easier management across different repositories.

Benefits

• Enhanced User Experience: A personalized greeting can make new contributors feel more welcomed and engaged.
• Consistent Branding: It allows repository maintainers to maintain a consistent voice in their communications.

Example**

# Sample configuration for custom greeting
# .github/workflows/greetings.yml
name: Greetings
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
jobs:
  greet:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Send custom greeting message
        uses: actions/create-or-update-comment@v2
        with:
          issue-number: ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
          body: 'Welcome to our project! We are excited to see your contribution!'

This feature could enhance new contributor engagement and support the community growth.
