Stop bad releases before they keep running
A Botpress validation failure can immediately tell Notis to cancel the affected GitHub workflow, protecting attention and compute without a manual dashboard check.
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 release can keep running after a conversational QA bot has already found a blocker, wasting compute and forcing someone to remember to stop it.
- Stops known-bad runs as soon as validation fails
- Reduces noisy follow-up from obsolete workflow results
- Keeps release safeguards connected to conversational QA
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect the Botpress validator and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2In a new automation, describe the exact Botpress failure verdict that should cancel the named GitHub workflow run.
- 3Use an incoming webhook trigger and choose a channel for cancellation reports.
- 4Run a controlled failing validation and confirm the cancellable GitHub run stops.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis cancel a completed run?
No. GitHub only cancels runs that are in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
Can I limit this to a release branch?
Yes. Include the repository, branch, and validation conditions in the automation's plain-language prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Botpress to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Botpress triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
