Stop a scheduled email when the product signal turns red
A failed workflow can make a scheduled announcement stale or misleading. Notis can pause the campaign while you investigate.
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).
Action
Send Campaign
Tool to send an email campaign immediately. use when the campaign exists, has at least one recipient, and is not scheduled or already delivered. e.g., 'send campaign 123 now'.
Why this helps
Scheduled emails keep moving even when a release or product workflow has failed.
- Prevents stale announcements from sending.
- Creates breathing room for investigation.
- Adds a simple safety net to release communication.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Enginemailer to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to pause the related Enginemailer campaign when a critical workflow run fails.
- 3Pick the workflow run state trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a non-critical campaign and simulated failure condition.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which campaign to pause?
Describe the campaign by name, purpose, or relationship to the GitHub workflow in the plain-language instruction.
Can it act only on failed conclusions?
Yes. Tell Notis to pause only when the run conclusion is failure, error, or another specified state.
