Notis

Clear stalled GitHub Actions runs automatically

Keep failed experiments from quietly occupying attention and CI capacity.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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 workflow runs linger until someone notices them, adding noise to an already busy engineering day.

  • Keeps CI queues tidy
  • Avoids manual checks
  • Makes current work easier to spot

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations to Notis once.
  • 2Start a New Automation in the portal.
  • 3Write a prompt telling DeepSeek which stale GitHub workflow runs should be canceled.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and a channel for reports.
  • 5Run the schedule once against a real noncritical workflow.

Questions about this workflow

Will it cancel every failed run?

No. Your plain-language prompt defines which queued or in-progress runs are stale enough to cancel.

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just DeepSeek and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
