Discussion Details

I want to trigger a workflow from a workflow dispatch within the repository of an organization.

I am sending a POST request to:
https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow-id}/dispatches/
with a personal access token in the authorization header

It is a fine grained access token with the organization as owner, and this token has access to all repositories owned by the organization.

It has the following rights:

Read access to metadata
Read and Write access to actions, code, issues, pull requests, and workflows

When I send the request I get the following 403 response:

{
"message": "Resource not accessible by personal access token",
"documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/actions/workflows#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event",
"status": "403"
}

According to the documentation, i should have all the permissions i need to trigger this event but I keep getting the 403. What could i be missing?

Use a classic PAT with the repo scope. Classic tokens work reliably with dispatches.

That worked. Shame that i cant use a fine grained token as described in the docs, but ill take a working solution over nothing. Thank you!
