 The following environment variables influences the build
 when using the `GitHubActions` configuration:
 
- - `GITHUB_EVENT_NAME`: must be set to `push` or `workflow_dispatch`.
+ - `GITHUB_EVENT_NAME`: must be set to `push`, `workflow_dispatch`, or `schedule`.
    This avoids deployment on pull request builds.
 
  - `GITHUB_REPOSITORY`: must match the value of the `repo` keyword to [`deploydocs`](@ref).
