Stop a GitHub run when operations need attention
Send a clear escalation to Notis and cancel the specified GitHub run that can be stopped.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Cancels a workflow run in a github repository if it is in a cancellable state (e.g., 'in progress' or 'queued').
Why this helps
A queued or active workflow can continue consuming attention after an operations escalation changes priorities.
- Cancel an identified workflow run from an escalation.
- Reduce manual steps when priorities change during operations.
- Keep a run report for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations > New Automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to cancel the specified GitHub workflow run when the incoming escalation meets your stated criteria.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, cancellable workflow run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this cancel any workflow run?
Only if the run is queued or in a cancellable state such as in progress, and the input identifies the repository and run.
Does 7shifts send the trigger directly?
No 7shifts trigger events are available here. An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the automation.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
