+# Trigger A Workflow Via An API Call
+
+We can set up a GitHub Actions workflow to run when triggered by an API call.
+This is done with the [`workflow_dispatch`
+event](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_dispatch).
+
+First, we add `workflow_dispatch` to our workflow as a triggering event:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:
+```
+
+Second, we create a fine-grained personal GitHub access token that has permissions
+for dispatching to GitHub Actions. More details on that in the [GitHub
+docs](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token).
+
+Then, we can use `cURL` or some other tool for issuing an HTTP POST request to
+[the workflow dispatch API
+endpoint](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflows?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event). The `cURL` request will look something like this:
+
+```bash
+curl -L \
+  -X POST \
+  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>"\
+  -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
+  https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/workflows/WORKFLOW_ID/dispatches \
+  -d '{"ref":"topic-branch","inputs":{"name":"Mona the Octocat","home":"San Francisco, CA"}}'
+```
+
+Note: we need to alter that URL with the `OWNER` and `REPO` that the workflow
+lives in as well as the `WORKFLOW_ID` which can be the name of the workflow
+file (e.g. `my-dispatchable-workflow.yml`).
+
+This event also means that we can manually trigger the workflow from the
+GitHub Actions UI for that workflow.
