 ## How it works
 
+`Safe-settings` is designed to run as a service listening for webhook events or as a scheduled job running on some regular cadence. It can also be triggered through GitHub Actions. (See the [How to use](#how-to-use) section for details on deploying and configuring.)

+# Running Safe-settings with GitHub Actions (GHA)
+
+This guide describes how to schedule a full safe-settings sync using GitHub Actions. This assumes that an `admin` repository has been configured with your `safe-settings` configuration. Refer to the [How to Use](../README.md#how-to-use) docs for more details on that process.
+
+
+## GitHub App Creation
+Follow the [Create the GitHub App](deploy.md#create-the-github-app) guide to create an App in your GitHub account. This will allow `safe-settings` to access and modify your repos.
+
+
+## Defining the GitHub Action Workflow
+Running a full-sync with `safe-settings` can be done via `npm run full-sync`. This requires installing Node, such as with [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) (see example below). When doing so, the appropriate environment variables must be set (see the [Environment variables](#environment-variables) document for more details).
+
+
+### Example GHA Workflow
+The below example uses the GHA "cron" feature to run a full-sync every 4 hours. While not required, this example uses the `.github` repo as the `admin` repo (set via `ADMIN_REPO` env var) and the safe-settings configurations are stored in the `safe-settings/` directory (set via `CONFIG_PATH` and `DEPLOYMENT_CONFIG_FILE`).
+
+```yaml
+name: Safe Settings Sync
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: "0 */4 * * *"
+  workflow_dispatch: {}
+
+jobs:
+  safeSettingsSync:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    env:
+      # Version/tag of github/safe-settings repo to use:
+      SAFE_SETTINGS_VERSION: 2.1.13
+
+      # Path on GHA runner box where safe-settings code downloaded to:
+      SAFE_SETTINGS_CODE_DIR: ${{ github.workspace }}/.safe-settings-code
+    steps:
+      # Self-checkout of 'admin' repo for access to safe-settings config:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      # Checkout of safe-settings repo for running full sync:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        with:
+          repository: github/safe-settings
+          ref: $SAFE_SETTINGS_VERSION
+          path: $SAFE_SETTINGS_CODE_DIR
+      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
