Stop a GitHub Actions run from your intake flow
Send Notis the run context through a webhook and let it cancel the run when GitHub reports it is queued or in progress.
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
When a run needs to stop, tracking it down in GitHub adds friction to an already urgent interruption.
- Trigger cancellation from an HTTP request.
- Pass the run context from your existing intake flow.
- Get a report about the attempted cancellation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Celigo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe which run a request refers to and when Notis should cancel it in one instruction.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the report.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel a completed run?
No. GitHub only cancels a run when it is in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
What should the webhook request include?
Include enough context for Notis to identify the intended run. If that identifying information is missing, provide it in the request or your instruction.

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.
