How is GitHub Action's name identified when the workflow is running?

Question

I published a GitHub Action with name Marketly Incr Version and with version as v1.1. When I referenced the action in yml as uses: actions/Marketly-Incr-Version@v1.1 , I get the error below. I also tried lower case everything and still got the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Failed to download action 'https://api.github.com/repos/actions/Marketly-Incr-Version/zipball/v1.1'. Error Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found)

I see you are referring to this action

The correct syntax is owner/repo@ref:

uses: gopala000/incr-version@v1.1

Btw if you click the green button on the marketplace page for this action, it gives you the syntax to use:

- name: Marketly Incr Version
  uses: gopala000/incr-version@v1.1

P.S. if you want to have your action follow the same versioning scheme as most actions in the marketplace, use this meta action to do that.
