Stop the GitHub workflow run an agent has flagged
Forward a run identifier and a clear stop request to Notis so it can cancel a queued or active run.
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 costly or mistaken workflow run can keep consuming time while teams switch between agent conversations and GitHub.
- Respond quickly to a clear request to stop a run.
- Keep the decision context with the run cancellation report.
- Reduce unnecessary work from queued or active runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BotMape and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to cancel only the GitHub workflow run explicitly identified in an incoming stop request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request for a cancellable run and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Can this cancel completed runs?
No. GitHub only cancels a workflow run when it is in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
What should the webhook request include?
It should provide enough context to identify the repository and workflow run, plus an explicit request to cancel it.

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.
