Stop a GitHub workflow when Bugbug catches a regression
When a regression makes a run unnecessary, let Notis find the matching cancellable GitHub run and stop it.
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 regression can make an in-progress workflow run irrelevant, while the time and compute continue to be spent.
- Reduce wasted time on runs made unnecessary by a regression.
- Keep the cancellation tied to a specific Bugbug report.
- Have Notis report when no matching cancellable run is clear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugbug and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in a channel or in Automations, then name it and choose a report channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to cancel only a clearly matching GitHub workflow run when a Bugbug report identifies a regression that makes it unnecessary.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real regression and verify the selected run before relying on the automation.
Questions about this workflow
Will every failed test cancel a GitHub run?
No. Specify the regression conditions that justify cancellation, and ask Notis to act only when it can identify a matching run.
Can GitHub cancel any run?
No. This action works only 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.
