Summary

  • Add workflow_dispatch trigger for manual execution via GitHub Actions UI
  • Add schedule trigger to run workflow daily at 4 AM UTC

Changes

  • workflow_dispatch: Enables manual execution of the MOTD generation workflow from the GitHub Actions tab
  • schedule: Automated daily execution at 4 AM UTC using cron syntax 0 4 * * *

Benefits

  • Allows on-demand MOTD updates when needed (e.g., urgent messages, special announcements)
  • Ensures MOTD is automatically refreshed daily with the latest messages
  • Combines flexibility of manual triggers with convenience of automation

Test plan

  • Verify workflow appears in GitHub Actions UI for manual execution
  • Test manual execution via workflow_dispatch
  • Verify cron schedule runs at 4 AM UTC (check next day)

Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the GitHub Actions workflow configuration file to expand trigger mechanisms. Two new events are added to the workflow: workflow_dispatch (for manual triggering) and schedule (for automated daily execution at 4:00 UTC). The existing repository_dispatch trigger is preserved unchanged. The concurrency configuration remains intact. The net result is three lines added with no deletions, enabling the workflow to activate through multiple invocation methods.
