Make runner capabilities visible to your workflows
When infrastructure changes, the label that guides CI should keep up automatically.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add runner labels
Adds and appends custom labels to a self-hosted repository runner, which must be registered and active.
Why this helps
Self-hosted runner capabilities are easy to misremember, causing jobs to queue on the wrong machine or fail unexpectedly.
- Improves runner discoverability
- Reduces avoidable CI failures
- Keeps infrastructure context current
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When Datadog confirms the named self-hosted runner capability, append the corresponding custom label to that GitHub repository runner.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one active runner.
Questions about this workflow
Are existing labels removed?
No. GitHub appends new labels and keeps existing labels.
Can this respond to runner health?
Yes. Include the health or capability condition in the webhook 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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Datadog and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
