Performing a `deployment` request does not trigger action

The problem is that GitHub Actions cannot trigger other GitHub actions when using {{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} (or it's {{ github.token }} equivalent).

When you use the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN to perform tasks on behalf of the GitHub Actions app, events triggered by the GITHUB_TOKEN will not create a new workflow run

See https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token#using-the-github_token-in-a-workflow

To workaround this limitation, create a new secret, e.g. KBIEDRZYCKI_PAT and set it to a personal access token.

Does that resolve your issue?

We should probably add a warning about this limitation to the README 🤔

@gr2m thank you, that was actually an issue - after adding my own github token into secrets everything went smooth. Not sure if README update is needed, I guess it's my fault I haven't checked official docs in first place. Anyway - I will try to memo it somehow as I am planning some series of blog posts around github actions. Thanks again, we can close it.
