Automation: Trigger GitHub workflow from the backend

GitHub Automation - Learn how to trigger GitHub workflow using API.

Thanks to GitHub REST APIs. Using them, I was able to do that automation.

You will learn the same step-by-step process in this post.

GitHub provides Rest API endpoints to create integration, obtain data, or automate workflow. You can explore more about them in their API reference guidance.

As we have to automate workflow runs, we will use workflow runs API from Actions reference.
