-The `env` portion of the workflow **must** be configured before the action will work. Below you'll find a description of what each one does.

-| Key  | Value Information | Required |
-| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
-| `BUILD_SCRIPT`  | If you require a build script to compile your code prior to pushing it you can add the script here. The Docker container which powers the action runs Node which means `npm` commands are valid. If you're using a static site generator such as Jekyll I'd suggest compiling the code prior to pushing it to your base branch.  | **No** |
-| `BRANCH`  | This is the branch you wish to deploy to, for example `gh-pages` or `docs`.  | **Yes** |
-| `BASE_BRANCH`  | The base branch of your repository which you'd like to checkout prior to deploying. This defaults to `master`.  | **No** |
-| `FOLDER`  | The folder in your repository that you want to deploy. If your build script compiles into a directory named `build` you'd put it here.  | **Yes** |
-| `COMMIT_NAME`  | Used to sign the commit, this should be your name. Defaults to `gh-pages-deploy@jives.dev`  | **No** |
-| `COMMIT_EMAIL`  | Used to sign the commit, this should be your email. Defaults to `GitHub Pages Deployer` | **No** |
+| Key  | Value Information | Type | Required |

+| `ACCESS_TOKEN`  | In order for GitHub to trigger the rebuild of your page you must provide the action with a GitHub personal access token. You can [learn more about how to generate one here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line). This **should be stored as a secret.**  | `secrets` | **Yes** |

 With the action correctly configured you should see something similar to this in your GitHub action workflow editor.
