# action-dispatch

Trigger `workflow_dispatch` and `repository_dispatch` events from a workflow.

This requires a personal access token with the `repo` scope.

## workflow_dispatch

```yml

// some-workflow.yml

jobs:

  some-job:

    - name: Dispatch workflow_dispatch event

      uses: ph-fritsche/action-dispatch@v1

      with:

        token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

        ident: example-workflow.yml # refer to the filename

        payload: '{"foo":"bar"}' # json

```

```yml

// example-workflow.yml

on:

  workflow_dispatch:

    inputs:

      foo:

        description: Some input

        required: true

// ${{github.event.inputs.foo}} will be "bar"

```

## repository_dispatch

```yml

// some-workflow.yml

jobs:

  some-job:

    - name: Dispatch repository_dispatch event

      uses: ph-fritsche/action-dispatch@v1

      with:

        token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

        type: repository

        ident: example-repository # refer to on.repository_dispatch.types.*

        payload: '{"foo":"bar"}' # json

```

```yml

// example-repository.yml

on:

  repository_dispatch:

    types: [example-repository] # the name here is referred to by the dispatch

// ${{github.event.client_payload.foo}} will be bar

```
