Stop a GitHub run when project work pauses

Send Notis the pause request with the repository and workflow run ID to cancel a run that is no longer needed.

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 project can be paused while its GitHub workflow keeps running or waiting in the queue.

  • Act on a specific run when project work pauses.
  • Reduce unnecessary queued or in-progress automation.
  • Keep the cancellation request tied to the supplied pause context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agiled and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for paused project runs.
  • 3Tell Notis to cancel the GitHub workflow run identified in the pause request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real pause request containing a repository and cancellable workflow run ID.

Questions about this workflow

Can it cancel any workflow run?

GitHub only cancels a run that is in a cancellable state, such as in progress or queued. Include the exact repository and run ID.

Does it detect project pauses in Agiled automatically?

Agiled trigger events are not listed. Send a Notis webhook request when a pause needs to be reflected in GitHub.

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
