Cancel outdated GitHub workflow runs
Let the newest deployment request take priority without manual queue cleanup.
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
Old builds keep running after a newer change makes them irrelevant.
- Reduces build noise
- Avoids wasted attention
- Keeps the queue current
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Composio search and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation from the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Write one instruction to cancel the superseded GitHub run from an incoming webhook.
- 4Choose Incoming webhook and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one safe queued run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel every run?
No. State in the instruction which replacement signal should trigger cancellation.

GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Composio search and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
