Review scheduled run cleanup candidates from BrowserAct
Use a recurring review to spot GitHub runs that match a clear cancellation rule, with evidence and a report for each decision.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Finding and stopping obsolete or unwanted runs takes attention away from planned work, and an unclear cancellation rule can stop the wrong run.
- Apply a repeatable cancellation policy during scheduled reviews.
- Keep a record of the supplied evidence and cancellation decisions.
- Reduce time spent checking run status by hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, specify how current BrowserAct task details will be supplied and the exact evidence required before a GitHub run may be canceled.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run one real example and confirm the run identifier, decision, and report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule fetch BrowserAct task results automatically?
No BrowserAct trigger event or result-fetching action is listed here. The instruction must specify how the review receives current BrowserAct details.
Can it cancel any workflow run?
The GitHub action cancels a run only when it is in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress. Define a narrow cancellation rule in the instruction.
What if the evidence is incomplete?
Instruct Notis to report the missing details and leave the run untouched when it cannot establish that the rule is met.

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.
