Notis

Stop an affected workflow run when an alert arrives

An incoming alert can prompt Notis to cancel a run tied to weather-sensitive operations, using the run details and thresholds you specify.

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 weather alert may arrive while a related workflow run is already queued or in progress.

  • Respond to qualifying alerts promptly
  • Reduce manual checks for active runs
  • Keep cancellation decisions tied to a clear rule

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ambient weather and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis which alert conditions call for cancellation and how to identify the intended GitHub run.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real alert request and a cancellable run.

Questions about this workflow

What if the run has already finished?

The action can cancel runs only in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.

What starts the automation?

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.
