Create a repository dispatch event
You can use this endpoint to trigger a webhook event called repository_dispatch when you want activity that happens outside of GitHub Enterprise Server to trigger a GitHub Actions workflow or GitHub App webhook. You must configure your GitHub Actions workflow or GitHub App to run when the repository_dispatch event occurs. For an example repository_dispatch webhook payload, see “RepositoryDispatchEvent.”
The client_payload parameter is available for any extra information that your workflow might need. This parameter is a JSON payload that will be passed on when the webhook event is dispatched. For example, the client_payload can include a message that a user would like to send using a GitHub Actions workflow. Or the client_payload can be used as a test to debug your workflow.
This endpoint requires write access to the repository by providing either:
- Personal access tokens with
reposcope. For more information, see “Creating a personal access token for the command line” in the GitHub Help documentation. - GitHub Apps with both
metadata:readandcontents:read&writepermissions.
This input example shows how you can use the client_payload as a test to debug your workflow.
