Keep CI status changes from interrupting every task
Bench creates a small review buffer when a workflow run changes, so build results do not constantly pull you away.
Trigger
GitHub Workflow Run State Changed
Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).

Why this helps
CI transitions can create a stream of small interruptions that erode concentration.
- Cuts CI notification churn
- Creates predictable review moments
- Helps preserve build context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bench in Notis once.
- 2Create a New Automation in the portal.
- 3Tell Notis to start a Bench pause when a workflow run changes state and then report it.
- 4Select GitHub Workflow Run State Changed and your report channel.
- 5Run a workflow and confirm the pause occurs.
Questions about this workflow
Does this rerun the workflow?
No. It listens for a run state change and performs only the Bench sleep action.

Bench actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Sleep
Sleep
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
