Clear temporary runner labels before they mislead CI
A scheduled reset keeps old infrastructure assumptions from steering new jobs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Clear self-hosted runner org labels
Removes all custom labels from a self-hosted runner for an organization; default labels (e.g., 'self-hosted', 'linux', 'x64') will remain.
Why this helps
Temporary labels outlive the infrastructure change that created them, making CI behavior harder to reason about.
- Removes stale routing hints
- Makes runner state easier to understand
- Automates periodic infrastructure cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a recurring automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: On the schedule, review Datadog infrastructure context and clear all temporary custom labels from the specified GitHub organization runner.
- 4Choose a monthly cron trigger, select the channel for run reports, and test with a disposable runner.
Questions about this workflow
Are default runner labels removed?
No. GitHub keeps default labels such as self-hosted, linux, and x64.
Should this run monthly?
Monthly is a useful starting point for temporary labels, but choose the cadence that matches your infrastructure changes.

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.
