Nice! One thing actions was missing (at least for me, or I couldn't figure it out) was the ability to run them on-demand/ad hoc.

I'm planning to use this to run a build+release script for a specific issue and reply with a changelog then close the issue/change the status for an open-source project I run.

You could create a workflow that listens for the `repository_dispatch` event, see https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#create-a-repository-d...

Awesome thanks! The project I run has a lot of emergency updates so this, being able to release simply with a comment referring to a specific issue in context is really helpful. this is how I've set it up:
