Workflow Dispatch Input - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A workflow dispatch input is a value passed in when someone manually runs a workflow.
A workflow dispatch input is a parameter declared under on.workflow_dispatch.inputs that a user supplies when manually triggering a workflow from the UI or API.
Inputs can be typed as string, boolean, choice, or environment, and are read via the inputs context, which makes manual runs parameterizable (for example choosing a target or version).
