-This action creates [`repository_dispatch`](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#create-a-repository-dispatch-event) events.
-The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not have scopes to do this so a `repo` scoped [PAT](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) created on a user with `write` access to the target repository is required.
+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.
