Example usage

    - name: Build single job
      uses: Mondtic/build-jenkins-job@master
      with:
        jenkins-url: ${{ secrets.JENKINS_URL }}
        jenkins-token: ${{ secrets.JENKINS_TOKEN }}
        jenkins-user: ${{ secrets.JENKINS_USER }}
        jenkins-job: ${{ secrets.JENKINS_JOB }}
        jenkins-job-params: "{'stringparam': 'stringvalue', 'booleanparam': false}"
        jenkins-wait-job: "no-wait"
        jenkins-ssl-verify: "true"

Notes:

If your job needs params and you want to use the default params, you will need to set Jenkins-job-params: "{'any_param': 'any_value'}" otherwise, you will receive a 400 Bad request error.
