Hi everyone, I am hoping to create a webhook to hit a workflow dispatch event (which then triggers a re-build of our Gatsby site) as per the docs here: [Actions - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/actions#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event) This endpoint requires 'ref' to be set in the body, however Prismic's Webhooks interface doesn't provide a way to send body parameters. Is there a way to do this or do I have to set up a proxy? ---

Hi Mike, welcome 🙂 I'm a user trying to get something very similar going myself. From my looking it seems that `repository_dispatch` is the better fit for what you're trying to do. Check here: > **[Repositories - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/repos#create-a-repository-dispatch-event)** ---

Hi there! I've already been down the road with `repository_dispatch` however it's only helpful for dispatches made on the default branch, whereas I need to trigger a deploy on another branch ---

Looks like the team are focussing on improving webhooks this week. I've requested they include what you're suggesting. See how it goes. > [@Setting Authorization Header in Webhooks](https://community.prismic.io/t/setting-authorization-header-in-webhooks/514/20): > > Thanks so much @Phil, that is greatly appreciated smiley While they are looking at Webhooks can they also add support for setting Headers and a Body, as raised by @ [gctravelapp](https://community.prismic.io/u/gctravelapp) here.
