About

This action is to be used with the workflow_run event. It allows for a finer grained response to a workflow run. A workflow run that reacts to a workflow run can only filter by activity types completed and requested and not by the conclusion state. This action will create a repository_dispatch event with an event type that includes the conclusion and has the original payload. By using this action there is no need for conditionals in a workflow run. Set eventNameInEventType to true to include the event e.g pull_request in the event name.

The event type is ${workflowName} - ${event ( optional)} - ${conclusion} and client_payload is the workflow run payload.

Example

name: Repository dispatch of AWorkflow
on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: [AWorkflow]
    types: [completed]

jobs:
  workflow-dispatch:
    name: repo dispatch event with conclusion 
    runs-on: windows-2019
    steps:
      - name: repo dispatch
        uses: tonyhallett/[email protected]
        with:
            GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.PAT }}

and handling when successful (the repository dispatch)

name: AWorkflow - success
on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [AWorkflow - success]

jobs:
  do-something-with-payload:
    # create a step that uses github.event.client_payload
