Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Why this helps

Stuck or obsolete workflow runs create noise and consume attention during focused work.

  • Reduces CI clutter
  • Protects limited attention
  • Prevents obsolete runs from lingering
  • Creates a calm maintenance rhythm

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Calendarhero and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by conversation.
  • 3Use this instruction: During my scheduled focus-block cleanup, find stale queued or running GitHub workflow runs related to completed Calendarhero work and cancel them.
  • 4Pick a recurring trigger, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one known stale run.

Questions about this workflow

Can it cancel every running workflow?

The instruction should limit cancellation to stale or obsolete runs tied to completed work.

What schedule works well?

A daily or weekly maintenance window is usually enough for a small founder-led team.
