Alright, you can try this :

name: Test

on:
  watch
    types: [started]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    if: github.actor == github.event.repository.owner.login

    steps:
       - name: Checkout repository
         uses: actions/checkout@v2
        #  add more ...

Notice you may have to reindent but I hope it would be fine :)

Thanks, I guess the last step is on how to combine what you propose with an already in place workflow that gets executed at push time.

For now I have:

name: Test

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
[...]

But if I change that to what you propose then my workflow is no more executed at push time.

Do you know if we can combine both manual trigger trick + usual push testing in a single or a combination of workflows maybe? Let me know!

Yes, I set just the beginning but you can adapt it for an existing workflow or a new one.

Yes you can !
For your example it will be like that :

on:
  push:
  watch:
    types: [started]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    if: github.actor == github.event.repository.owner.login

    steps:
[...]

I din't try out yet this but I've already tried to setup a workflow with push event and cron, so it should be fine !
