 Commands are dispatched with a payload containing a number of contexts.
 
+#### `slash_command` context

 The slash command context can be accessed as follows.
 `args` is a space separated string of all the supplied arguments.
 Each argument is also supplied in a numbered property, i.e. `arg1`, `arg2`, `arg3`, etc.

+If the `named-args` input (or `named_args` JSON property) is set to `true`, any arguments that are prefixed in the format `name=argument` will be parsed and added to the payload.
+
+For example, the slash command `/deploy branch=master env=prod some other args` will be set in the JSON payload as follows.
+
+```json
+{
+  "command": "deploy",
+  "args": "branch=master env=prod some other args",
+  "unnamed_args": "some other args",
+  "branch": "master",
+  "env": "prod",
+  "arg1": "some",
+  "arg2": "other",
+  "arg3": "args"
+}
+```
+
+These named args can be accessed in a workflow as follows.
+
+```yml
+      - name: Output command and named arguments
+        run: |
+          echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.slash_command.command }}
+          echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.slash_command.branch }}
+          echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.slash_command.env }}
+          echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.slash_command.unnamed_args }}
+```
+
+#### `github` and `pull_request` contexts
+
 The payload contains the complete `github` context of the `issue_comment` event at path `github.event.client_payload.github`.
 Additionally, if the comment was made in a pull request, the action calls the [GitHub API to fetch the pull request detail](https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#get-a-single-pull-request) and attach it to the payload at path `github.event.client_payload.pull_request`.
