Github Workflow Triggers For Automation Tests 3.0

Wrapped-up another tech demo of various Github Workflow triggers for your automation tests frameworks (whether it's Cypress, Playwright or WebdriverIO).

In this demo I'll showcase:
1. Manual trigger (workflow dispatch)
2. Schedule trigger (cron)
3. Outer repository commit-based trigger (repository dispatch)
4. Passing various params which are needed to make the flow as flexible as possible
5. YAML structure & logic
6. HTML reports generation & history retention
7. Slack reporting

Feel free to use & implement & don't forget to enjoy the ride!
