-# azure-managedccf-activate-member-action
-A GitHub action to add and activate a member in a Managed CCF instance.
+# Action for deployment of applications to CCF
+
+This GitHub action is designed to automate deployment of an application to a CCF network.
+
+---
+
+## Pre-reqs
+
+These action require 2 secrets to be stored in GitHub.
+
+- MEMBERCERT - The certificate that has access to the network, which will be used to sign the transactions for CCF.
+
+- MEMBERKEY - The private key associated with the MEMBERCERT.
+
+---
+
+## Example workflow: Sample
+
+```
+on: [push]
+
+jobs:
+  ccf-deploy:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    name: Deploy CCF application
+    env:
+      CCF_URL: '<your ccf endpoint>/'
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout
+        uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - name: CCF deploy
+        uses: msftsettiy/azure-managedccf-deploy-app-action@v0.1.0-alpha
+        id: deploy
+        env:
+          CERTD: ${{ secrets.MEMBERCERT }}
+          KEYD: ${{ secrets.MEMBERKEY }}

+      - name: Get the proposal id
+        run: echo "The proposal id is ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.proposal }}"
