Stop a cancellable GitHub run after a benchmark regression
Let a Bench regression check trigger a targeted cancellation when you provide a run and an explicit stop rule.
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 known regression can make an in-progress workflow run waste time before someone can cancel it manually.
- Apply a clear stop rule to a specified workflow run.
- Reduce manual delay when a regression warrants stopping work.
- Receive a report of the attempted cancellation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bench and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to review the Bench report and cancel the specified GitHub workflow run only when your stop criteria are met.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report and a run that is safe to cancel.
Questions about this workflow
Will the action cancel every run in the repository?
No. Supply the intended repository and workflow run. GitHub cancels only runs in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
Does a regression automatically mean a run should stop?
No. Define the stop criteria in your instruction and provide the run reference.

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.
