Pause a workflow run when weather creates risk
If a run supports work that depends on safe weather conditions, Notis can check the forecast and cancel it when your criteria are met.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 even after severe conditions change the plan.
- Respond to weather risks without repeated manual checks
- Apply your stated cancellation criteria consistently
- Receive a run report after the decision
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 weather conditions justify cancelling the specified GitHub workflow run, and how to identify that run.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real forecast and a cancellable run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this cancel any run?
The GitHub action cancels a workflow run only when it is in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
What information must I provide?
Specify the relevant location, weather criteria, and enough repository and run context for Notis to identify the intended run.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
