Hi Team,

I have two workflows in my project:

  1. create-release workflow
  2. release build

Release build is supposed to be triggered on

on:
  release:
    types: [ published, released ]

When I create the release manually from the UI, release build gets triggered. However, with create-release workflow my later workflow does not get triggered.
Kindly let me know if you need any other information.

It looks like the behavior is not the fault of this action... I did a test with using my GitHub personal access token instead of the default secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and it triggers the released event as if I did the release creation via the UI.

Thank you for the information. I tried with secret.PAT and it worked.
Can you guys please update the README.md. That suggests secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN to use.
env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # This token is provided by Actions, you do not need to create your own token
