Use a Browseai signal to cancel the right GitHub run
Connect an external site signal to a focused GitHub action, with Notis checking your criteria and reporting what happened.
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 website change can call for quick action, but tracking the signal and the affected run in separate tools makes follow-through easy to miss.
- Start the automation from an HTTP request
- Apply your stated decision rule to incoming signal context
- Keep cancellation limited to the specific identified run
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browseai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then name it and describe the signal response in one instruction.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming context to identify the repository, run, and conditions required before cancellation.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real signal and a known cancellable run, then review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does Browseai directly trigger this automation?
Browseai has no trigger events in the supplied list. Configure a Notis webhook as the trigger and send the relevant HTTP request to it.
What run details are required?
The automation needs enough context to identify the repository and specific workflow run. If the signal lacks those details, provide them through another named source or user instruction.
Will it cancel completed runs?
No. GitHub only allows cancellation for a run in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.

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.
Browseai and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
