Connect a spend review to a specific workflow run
If your review criteria call for stopping a queued or in-progress workflow, Notis can cancel the run you identify in GitHub.
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 run that should stop can continue while a spend or operational review waits for a manual handoff.
- Cancel a specific GitHub workflow run when your criteria are met.
- Avoid a separate manual handoff between review and action.
- Receive the outcome in your selected report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brex and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe the review criteria and identify the repository and workflow run to cancel.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and a run that is safe to cancel.

Can it cancel every workflow run in a repository?
The available action cancels a specified run. Provide the repository and run identifier in your instruction or webhook context.
Can any run be cancelled?

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
