You are right, but it does illustrate how little is needed to get your code of the ground. See https://github.com/sdras/awesome-actions for a list of plug n' play building blocks. And there are a bunch of different triggers and patterns (https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-tri...) you can listen to, all tightly coupled with your code and (GitHub) UI.

There is a lot of bang for the buck here.
