Notis

Manage GitHub runner labels through external webhooks

Your infrastructure monitoring sends a webhook when a runner needs maintenance. Notis immediately adds a 'needs-maintenance' label to that runner in GitHub so the team sees it and handles it.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add runner labels

Adds and appends custom labels to a self-hosted repository runner, which must be registered and active.

Why this helps

Runner maintenance needs get lost between monitoring systems and GitHub. A runner is failing, but GitHub still shows it as healthy. Manual label updates lag behind actual infrastructure status.

  • Runner labels stay in sync with external monitoring
  • GitHub reflects actual runner status in real time
  • Reduce manual runner management overhead
  • Integration with existing infrastructure tools

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your GitHub account to Notis
  • 2Create an automation: 'When an external system sends a webhook, add a label to a GitHub runner'
  • 3Select 'Notis Webhook' as your trigger
  • 4Notis generates a webhook URL to use in your monitoring system
  • 5Test by sending a test webhook and confirming the label is added to the runner

Questions about this workflow

How do I send webhooks from my infrastructure monitoring?

Notis generates a unique webhook URL. Configure your monitoring tool to POST to that URL with runner details.

Can I add different labels for different events?

Yes. You can map different webhook payloads to different labels (e.g., 'high-cpu' → add 'cpu-heavy' label, 'disk-full' → add 'storage-alert' label).

What payload format does the webhook expect?

Notis is flexible with JSON payloads. You tell it which fields contain the runner name and event type, and it handles the rest.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Sheets triggers

GitHub actions

Aggregate Metric Changed

Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.

TriggerPolling

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Cell Range Values Changed

Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Conditional Format Rule Changed

Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Data Validation Rule Changed

Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

Developer Metadata Changed

Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Filtered Range Values Changed

Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

New Rows in Google Sheet

Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet

Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Google Sheets and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
