 This action will push any changes (new alerts, alerts deleted, alert states changed) to JIRA, by creating, deleting or changing the state of the corresponding JIRA issues. If you set `sync_direction` to `jira2gh`, it will synchronize the other way. Currently, two-way integration is not yet possible via the action. If you need it, use the CLI's `serve` command (see below).
 
+With this action you are also able to create labels for the JIRA issues that are created. By using the example yaml below in your workflow. You can use multiple labels as it shows, and spaces will be respected. If one was to enter `red-team, blue team` the labels would be created 'red-team' and ' blue team'. If this input is updated in the workflow, the existing JIRE issues will also be updated with the same labels.
