 ### `repo`
 **Optional.** The default behavior is to trigger workflows in the same repo as the triggering workflow, if you wish to trigger in another GitHub repo "externally", then provide the owner + repo name with slash between them e.g. `microsoft/vscode`
 
+### `run-name`
+**Optional.** The default behavior is to get the remote run ID based on the latest workflow name and date, if you have multiple of the same workflow running at the same time it can point to an incorrect run id.
+You can specify the run name to fetch the run ID based on the actual run name.

 ### `wait-for-completion`
 **Optional.** If `true`, this action will actively poll the workflow run to get the result of the triggered workflow. It is enabled by default. If the triggered workflow fails due to either `failure`, `timed_out` or `cancelled` then the step that has triggered the other workflow will be marked as failed too.
