Is there a way to trigger a Github action on an external event (e.g. a resource from an URL was updated)?
There is a webhook event called repository_dispatch when you want to trigger a workflow for activity that happens outside of GitHub. You can use the GitHub API to Create a repository dispatch event. In your workflow, add
on: repository_dispatch
