What does the Trigger Netlify Build action do in Netlify?
Manually triggers a build/deploy for a site. For "content changed in CMS → rebuild static site" or "scheduled daily rebuild for fresh data" patterns.
What inputs does Trigger Netlify Build require?
Required: Site. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
