Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Abort Actor Run
Abort an Actor run that is starting or running; terminal runs are unaffected.
Why this helps
A run that is no longer useful can consume time and attention until someone finds and stops it.
- Abort a run that is starting or running.
- Use a specific run ID to target the intended job.
- Reduce distraction from an obsolete collection task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, identify the run ID and ask Notis to abort it only when the request clearly calls for stopping that run.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a safe known run and verify the returned status.
