Act on stuck workflow runs from a runbook
Send a runbook with the repository and run to Notis, then let it request cancellation 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 runbook can identify a run that should stop, but switching context to find and cancel it adds delay.
- Move a runbook action into GitHub
- Cancel a specified cancellable run
- Reduce context switching during workflow cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Carbone and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe how to identify the repository and run ID from the supplied runbook and request cancellation.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run that is queued or in progress and confirm its status.
Questions about this workflow
Can it cancel any workflow run?
GitHub allows cancellation only when the run is in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
Does Carbone provide run status as a trigger?
No. Carbone has no trigger events in this package. The webhook starts the automation.

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.
