Retrigger Webhook Action

This GitHub Action retriggers webhooks in a given repository.

It abstracts the process described in the GitHub documentation here

It will look for the provided variable in the repository to fetch when the redelivery was previously run and will retrigger the webhooks once per guid to not retrigger both the original and any new redelivery attempt.

Inputs

NAME	DESCRIPTION	TYPE	REQUIRED	DEFAULT
`token`	GitHub access token (Scope: classic = `repo`)	`string`	`true`	`N/A`
`repo`	Name of the repository where the webhook is configured.	`string`	`true`	`N/A`
`owner`	Owner of the repository where the webhook is configured.	`string`	`true`	`N/A`
`last_redelivery_variable_name`	The name of the variable that will store the last redelivery timestamp.	`string`	`true`	`N/A`
`webhook_id`	The ID to filter for a specific webhook.	`string`	`false`	`N/A`
`base_url`	The base URL for an Enterprise Server instance.	`string`	`false`	`N/A`

Keep in mind that GITHUB_TOKEN does not have sufficient permissions to redeliver webhooks. For fine-grained personal access tokens, grant the token:

Access to the repository where the webhook was created
Write access to the repository webhooks permission
Write access to the repository variables permission

Usage example

Add the following snippet to an existing workflow file

      - name: Run redelivery
        env:
          token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}
          owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
          repo: ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
          # webhook_id: 'YOUR_HOOK_ID'
