Clear a stuck build from the path to research
Surface a build that is still in progress and stop it when it meets the criteria you set for a lingering build.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Abort Actor Build
Abort an Actor build that is starting or running; terminal builds are unaffected.
Why this helps
A build that remains in progress can block the next collection, while the status is easy to overlook during a busy day.
- Identify builds that remain in progress past your stated threshold.
- Abort eligible starting or running builds.
- Make build follow-up visible in a report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which build to inspect and the explicit age or status criteria for aborting it.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test using a build known to be starting or running.
