Stop carrying dead workflow runs
When a run is obviously obsolete, it should not keep occupying your attention or your runners. Set a rule and let Notis handle the cleanup.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Cancel a queued or in-progress workflow run.
Why this helps
Queued and failed-to-progress runs create uncertainty about what is safe to rerun or ignore.
- Removes obsolete work from the queue
- Makes rerun decisions easier
- Reduces operational clutter
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Rosette text analytics and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a scheduled automation in the portal or ask Notis to clean up stale workflow runs.
- 3Give Notis this instruction: Analyze the supplied run notes, cancel only queued or in-progress GitHub workflow runs that clearly match the stale-run rule, and report every cancellation.
- 4Choose a daily schedule, select a run-report channel, and test with one disposable run.
Questions about this workflow
Can it cancel successful runs?
No. The GitHub action is intended for cancellable queued or in-progress runs.
How cautious should the stale rule be?
Use a narrow rule based on age, branch, or text context, and report uncertain cases instead of cancelling them.
