Cut off runaway GitHub compute faster
A cost alert should lead to a contained response, not another investigation queue.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Cancel a queued or in-progress workflow run.
Why this helps
Expensive or duplicated workflow runs continue while the founder is still diagnosing the cause.
- Stops cancellable work sooner
- Turns cost alerts into an immediate operational response
- Reduces emergency context switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databricks and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a webhook automation with the instruction to cancel the related GitHub workflow run when Databricks monitoring reports a defined cost spike or runaway compute pattern.
- 3Give the webhook trigger to the monitoring service and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one test alert and confirm Notis cancels only the intended cancellable run.
Questions about this workflow
What sends the webhook?
A Databricks job, monitoring service, or custom backend can send the HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
Can every workflow run be cancelled?
No. GitHub only cancels runs in a cancellable state, such as queued or in progress.
