 - `DEPLOYMENT` - existing deployment ID, required when updating status
 - `STATUS` - status of a deployment, must be one of the following: `[ error, failure, inactive, in_progress, queued, pending, success ]`
 - `ENVIRONMENT` - GitHub Environment, default `production`
+- `FAIL`: failure trap which will tweak the status to be **failure** on value `"true"`. Used to reduce overal workflow code by configuring one action for both successful or failed deployments with `FAIL: "${{ failure() }}"`
