If condition in Github Actions for another Job - github

Question

My use case is, to trigger docs build when there is a trigger word in Pull Request Comments.
I am using pull-request-comment-trigger to know if a Trigger word is present in the code.
After knowing Action is triggered, I want to run some commands inside the repo. So, I have to use actions/checkout for that.
My doubt is, inside the run command, Only Shell Commands are valid, Right? I want to run another job if above condition satisfies.
My Current Yaml File
name: Testing GH Actions
on:
pull_request:
types: [opened]
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: khan/pull-request-comment-trigger#master
id: check
with:
trigger: "AppajiC"
reaction: rocket
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
- run:
# Generally Anything here runs if below condition satisfies.
# I want to run another job here, which uses actions/checkout#v2 action
if: steps.check.outputs.triggered == 'true'
How can I achieve this ?

Answer 1

You can use the condition for your checkout step and the following steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2
if: steps.check.outputs.triggered == 'true'
- name: Following step1
if: steps.check.outputs.triggered == 'true'
...
Alternatively, you can create a new job and use that if condition once:
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
outputs:
deploy-status: ${{ steps.check.outputs.triggered }}
steps:
- uses: khan/pull-request-comment-trigger#master
id: check
with:
trigger: 'AppajiC'
reaction: rocket
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
# this job will only run if steps.check.outputs.triggered == 'true'
# you just need to write the if once
after-deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [deploy]
if: needs.deploy.outputs.deploy-status == 'true'
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2
...
