Everything looks good, the error handling is a nice touch as this would allow for users that might be settings this up for the first time, or using this for the first time to better understand what they need to do. All tests so far have passed and just awaiting 3. This seems like a nice touch overall and allows for better communication.

@MS2620 Do I need to do something on my end here? I'm not sure why the pending checks are not running

[joostlek]

@hfehrmann Mind opening a PR to the documentation describing the new parameter?
