How to run a github action step if it has a label-CodePudding

How would I check for a label added on a pull request when I merge to main branch from a pull request. I tried using the below but didn't work:

name: Publish
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  Publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
     if: ${{github.event.label.name == 'release'}}
     .......

name: Create Release
on:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 5

    steps:
    - name: Create release
