Stop stale GitHub runs before they drain attention
Keep your automation budget and mental bandwidth for work that still matters.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Cancel a queued or in-progress workflow run.
Why this helps
Queued or stuck runs linger because checking them manually is easy to postpone.
- Prevents obsolete runs from consuming resources
- Shrinks the list of things to monitor
- Creates a predictable cleanup rhythm
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docparser and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: review the relevant parsed operational records and cancel GitHub workflow runs that match the stated stale-run rules.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and run-report channel, then test against one known stale run.
Questions about this workflow
Why use a schedule instead of a webhook?
A recurring Notis schedule is useful when stale-run checks do not have a reliable external event to send.
Can the automation avoid active releases?
Yes. State exclusions such as production deployments, protected branches, or runs newer than a chosen age.
