 A GitHub action to create a repository dispatch event.
 
 ## Usage
 
+### Dispatching an event to the current repository
+
+In the caller workflow file:
+
+```yml
+jobs:
+  Dispatch:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      contents: write
+     steps:
+       - name: Repository Dispatch
+         uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v4
+         with:
+           event-type: my-event
+```
+
+In the callee workflow file:
+
+```yml
+name: MyWorkflow
+
+on:
+  repository_dispatch:
+    types: [my-event]
+```
+
+### Dispatching an event to a remote repository
+
+Use a `repo` scoped [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token).
+
 ```yml
       - name: Repository Dispatch
-        uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v1
+        uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v4
         with:
-          token: ${{ secrets.REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
+          token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
+          repository: username/my-repo
           event-type: my-event
 ```
 
-## Parameters
+### Action inputs
 
-- `token` (**required**) - A `repo` scoped GitHub [Personal Access Token](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).
-- `repository` - The full name of the repository to send the dispatch. Defaults to the current repository.
-- `event-type` (**required**) - A custom webhook event name.
-- `client-payload` - JSON payload with extra information about the webhook event that your action or workflow may use. Default: {}
+| Name | Description | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `token` | `GITHUB_TOKEN` or a `repo` scoped [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token). See [token](#token) for further details. | `GITHUB_TOKEN` |
+| `repository` | The full name of the repository to send the dispatch. | `github.repository` (current repository) |
+| `event-type` | (**required**) A custom webhook event name. | |
+| `client-payload` | JSON payload with extra information about the webhook event that your action or workflow may use. | `{}` |
+
+#### Token
+
+This action creates [`repository_dispatch`](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos#create-a-repository-dispatch-event) events.
+The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` token can only be used if you are dispatching the same repository that the workflow is executing in.
+
+To dispatch to a remote repository you must create a [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token) with the `repo` scope and store it as a secret.
+If you will be dispatching to a public repository then you can use the more limited `public_repo` scope.
+
+You can also use a [fine-grained personal access token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token) (beta). It needs the following permissions on the target repositories:
+ - `contents: read & write`
+ - `metadata: read only` (automatically selected when selecting the contents permission)
