Is it possible to add example with valid payload which trigger and wait for workflow in other repository?

[danieltalmor369]

I provided a json string

- name: Execute deployment and wait for finish
        uses: convictional/trigger-workflow-and-wait@v1.6.1
        with:
          owner: ME
          repo: my-workflows
          github_token: ${{ secrets. GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          github_user: ${{ github.event.client_payload.actor }}
          workflow_file_name: deployment.yml
          ref: ${{ github.event.inputs.ref }}
          client_payload: '{"ref": "master", "inputs": {"repository": "${{ github.event.inputs.repository }}", "ref": "${{ github.event.inputs.ref }}", "environment": "${{ github.event.inputs.environment }}", "service_to_deploy": "${{ github.event.inputs.service_to_deploy }}"}}'

But I get an error on the payload:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 422 is not a string

        - uses: convictional/trigger-workflow-and-wait@v1.6.5

Thanks @loki1978
I still getting the same error

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 422
api failed:
path: workflows/qa_deployment.yml/dispatches
response: {
  "message": "Invalid request.\n\nFor 'additionalProperties', {\"repository\"=>\"klinse\", \"ref\"=>\"feature/johnnyT/Aicore-20/combine-deploy-workflows\", \"environment\"=>\"qa-1\", \"env_start\"=>\"disabled\", \"service_to_deploy\"=>\"data_ingestor\"} is not a string.",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/actions#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event"
}

I try to wait for external workflow (which locate in other repository.
Do I need to set something on the triggered workflow?

Same for me.

using client_payload: '{"data":"I am a custom client_payload"}'
results in
Triggering workflow: workflows/testing-workflow.yml/dispatches {"ref":"master","inputs":{"data":"I am a custom client_payload"}} curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 422 api failed: path: workflows/testing-workflow.yml/dispatches response: { "message": "Unexpected inputs provided: [\"data\"]", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/actions#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event" }

Triggered workflow need workflow dispatch and inputs ( optional )

  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:

  workflow_dispatch:

Yes the workflow which you are triggering should have:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

doesn't work for me either.
an alternative solution: share params using organization variables
