Example of real use cases

Block PR when main build failed

Add job to check last build, then status check to forbid merge... 
# test.yml
on:
  push:
    branches: [ 'main' ]
  pull_request:
jobs:
  tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: ./test.sh
  main-stable:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: tests-main
        uses: pinguet62/workflow-conclusion@main
        with:
          workflow_id: 'test.yml'
          branch: 'main'
      - if: steps.tests-main.outputs.workflow_conclusion == 'failure'
        run: |
          echo "Fix main before next merges..."
          exit 1

Notify only when conclusion changed

Avoid multiple notifications when consecutive success or failure... 
# test.yml
on:
  push:
    branches: [ 'main' ]
jobs:
  tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: latest-execution
        run: ./test.sh

      - id: previous-execution
        uses: pinguet62/workflow-conclusion@main
        with:
          workflow_id: 'test.yml' # itself
          skip: 1 # ignore current

      # notification
      - if: always() && steps.previous-execution.outputs.workflow_conclusion == 'success' && steps.latest-execution.conclusion == 'failure'
        run: echo "Failure..."
      - if: always() && steps.previous-execution.outputs.workflow_conclusion == 'failure' && steps.latest-execution.conclusion == 'success'
        run: echo "Fixed..."

Deploy after success

Trigger new workflow after another success... 
# deploy.yml
on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: [ 'Build & Test' ]
    branches: [ 'main' ]
    types: [ 'completed' ]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: build_test-result
        uses: pinguet62/workflow-conclusion@main
        with:
          workflow_id: 'build_test.yml'
          branch: 'main'

      - if: steps.build_test-result.outputs.workflow_conclusion == 'success'
        run: echo "Deploy..."
