workflow_call is used to indicate that a workflow can be called by another workflow. When a workflow is triggered with the workflow_call event, the event payload in the called workflow is the same event payload from the calling workflow. For more information see, “Reusing workflows.”
The example below only runs the workflow when it’s called from another workflow:
on: workflow_call
