Keep self-hosted runners easy to route
Reliable automation starts with infrastructure that remains easy to identify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 labels drift as machines and workloads change, creating avoidable debugging.
- Reduce runner-routing confusion
- Make maintenance repeatable
- Lower debugging overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ntfy and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use the instruction: Add the approved custom labels to the specified active self-hosted GitHub runner and report the result.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select the report channel, and test with one real runner.
Questions about this workflow
Does this remove existing labels?
No. The GitHub action appends custom labels and keeps existing ones.
Can labels be maintained monthly?
Yes. Choose a recurring schedule that fits your infrastructure review.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Ntfy and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
