Action

Why this helps
Overlapping publishing systems can leave stale deployments running after Mintlify becomes authoritative.
- Prevents outdated page builds from continuing unnecessarily.
- Clarifies which publishing path is current.
- Reduces manual deployment cleanup.

- 1Connect Mintlify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to cancel an ongoing or queued GitHub Pages deployment when a Mintlify deployment supersedes the same documentation release.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one superseded deployment.
