Hey Austin, I'm +1 for adding a welcome bot, I would vote we use https://github.com/actions/first-interaction instead though.
The pros I see are: - (minor) we don't need to install the bot (which would require infra approval I believe) - GitHub has generally lowered (if not completely deprecated) probot apps in favor of actions - it matches our other automations which are all actions based The only con I see: - actions/first-interaction doesn't support PR merge messages ( https://github.com/behaviorbot/welcome#first-pr-merge) If you put up a PR for `first-interaction`, I'm happy to review/merge (barring further disagreement on this thread).
