Schedule Trigger Github Action workflow with Input parameters - github-actions

Question

I want to run my Github workflow two ways:
Manually by user
Cron job
Now, everything was running fine until I added input parameters. After that, the cron job is running but not picking default value.
Here is my yaml:
name: WebDriverIO Automation
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
typeOfTesting:
type: choice
description: Select Type of Test
default: 'stage-test-local-All'
required: true
options:
- stage-test-local-All
- stage-test
- stage-test-local-Sanity
- prod-test
branches:
- workingBranch
- JSNew
schedule:
- cron: "*/5 * * * *"

Answer 1

inputs are available to workflows triggered by the workflow_dispatch event only (and to any workflows that are called by dispatched workflows).
You can use the || expression operator to set the default values for input parameters. For example:
on:
schedule:
- cron: '15 0,18 * * 0-5'
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
logLevel:
required: true
type: string
jobs:
test:
uses: ./.github/workflows/run-job-with-params.yml
secrets: inherit
with:
springProfile: 'production'
logLevel: ${{ inputs.logLevel || 'DEBUG' }}
In the above example the logLevel parameter is set to DEBUG when the workflow is triggered by cron. When the job is triggered by a dispatch event it gets set to the input value.
