Notis

Pause deployments when production is unstable

A calm system needs a clear pause button.

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

During an incident, founders may forget that a deployment is still queued or running.

  • Limits changes during active incidents
  • Removes one high-pressure manual step
  • Supports safer incident response

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect New Relic and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis to cancel the matching GitHub Actions run when a New Relic alert meets the defined severity threshold.
  • 4Select the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one non-critical workflow run.

Questions about this workflow

Will every alert cancel a run?

No. Define the severity and repository conditions in the instruction.

Can the workflow be limited to deployments?

Yes. Tell Notis how to identify the deployment workflow.

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

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

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

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.
