Stop Unnecessary Builds When Kieai Jobs Fail
When the source generation is already dead, the downstream build should not keep consuming attention and resources. Let Notis close the loop.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Failed Kieai jobs can leave dependent GitHub runs running, creating noise and wasted compute.
- Stop irrelevant builds sooner.
- Reduce noisy workflow notifications.
- Keep failure handling aligned across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Kieai and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation from the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When Kieai reports a failed or cancelled generation, cancel the related cancellable GitHub workflow run and report the result.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a reporting channel, then test with a safe cancellable run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel completed runs?
No. GitHub only cancels runs that are in a cancellable state such as queued or in progress.
Can I limit it to one project?
Yes. Include the repository or project scope in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Kieai to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Kieai triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
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.
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.
