I suggests adding a new API endpoint to facilitate the dispatching of workflows. It empowers developers and teams to automate repetitive tasks and orchestrate complex workflows efficiently.

Create a workflow dispatch event

Payload:

POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/dispatches
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <token>

{
  "ref": "main",
  "inputs": {
    "param1": "value1",
    "param2": "value2"
  }
}

Permissions:

• "Actions" repository permissions (write)

Additional endpoints:

• Enable workflow (PUT /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/enable)
• Disable workflow (PUT /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/disable)
• Get a workflow (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id})
• Get workflow usage (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/timing)
• List repository workflows (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows)
