Clear obsolete CommCare builds automatically
When a deployment changes direction, Notis can stop the old run before it keeps demanding attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Why this helps
Old builds create noisy alerts and make it harder to see the run that actually matters.
- Reduces distracting build noise
- Avoids wasting runner time
- Keeps the active deployment easier to identify

- 3Tell Notis to cancel the superseded GitHub workflow run when the CommCare deployment changes.
- 4Select the webhook trigger and choose a channel for reports.
