Stop GitHub runs when Dropbox declares a release freeze
A release freeze should be one clear decision, not a series of manual interruptions.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Why this helps
During a release pause, a founder must hunt down running GitHub workflows before they create avoidable noise or changes.
- Stops work that conflicts with a declared freeze
- Reduces risky manual intervention
- Keeps release decisions operational
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it from a message.
- 3Give Notis a single instruction to detect a Dropbox release-freeze notice and cancel matching cancellable GitHub workflow runs.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis cron trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with a sample freeze notice.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel every workflow run?
No. The instruction should define which repository, branch, or release work counts as matching.
Can it report what it stopped?
Yes. Choose a channel for Notis run reports and ask it to summarize each cancellation.
