Cancel a GitHub workflow run when the deploy meeting is canceled
You call off the deploy, but the pipeline is already grinding away. When you cancel the deploy meeting on your calendar, Notis cancels the matching GitHub Actions run, so a scrubbed release stops instead of wasting minutes and muddying your logs.
Trigger
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
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
Cancelled deploys leave workflow runs churning in the background, and stopping them means digging into Actions under time pressure.
- A scrubbed deploy stops the pipeline instead of wasting a run.
- Keeps your Actions history clean and honest.
- One calendar action does the cleanup you would otherwise forget.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: When my deploy meeting is cancelled, cancel the running deploy workflow.
- 3Select the Google Calendar event cancelled or deleted trigger.
- 4Choose a channel where Notis confirms the cancellation.
- 5Test by cancelling a throwaway deploy event and checking the run stops.
Questions about this workflow
What if the run already finished?
GitHub only cancels runs that are in a cancellable state, and Notis reports the outcome either way.
How does Notis pick the run?
You describe it in plain language, so Notis targets the right repository and workflow.
Does deleting the meeting work too?
Yes. The trigger fires on both cancelled and deleted events.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Calendar to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Calendar triggers
GitHub actions
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
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.
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
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.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
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.
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
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.
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.
