+This action triggers another GitHub Actions workflow, using the `workflow_dispatch` event.
 The workflow must be configured for this event type e.g. `on: [workflow_dispatch]`
 
 This allows you to chain workflows, the classic use case is have a CI build workflow, trigger a CD release/deploy workflow when it completes. Allowing you to maintain separate workflows for CI and CD, and pass data between them as required.

 ### `sync-status`
 
 **Optional.** Set to `'true'` to sync the status of this action with the triggered workflow run. If the triggered workflow run fails or is cancelled, this action will also be set to failed. This only applies if `wait-for-completion` is set to `true`. Default is `false`.
