Stop wasting CI time during a fast-moving incident
When public signals show that a release path is no longer valid, stop the matching GitHub run before it consumes more time and attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 incidents, founders may leave duplicate or obsolete workflow runs active while switching between social channels and engineering tools.
- Reduces wasted CI minutes
- Limits noisy or obsolete deployments
- Creates a repeatable incident response step
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TikHub and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When TikHub shows that a release or incident path is obsolete, identify the matching in-progress or queued GitHub workflow run and cancel it.
- 4Choose a webhook or frequent business-hours trigger, select a reporting channel, and test with one known cancellable run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel completed runs?
No. GitHub only cancels runs in a cancellable state, and the instruction can require an explicit match.
What counts as an incident signal?
You define the signal in plain language, such as repeated outage reports or an announced rollback.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link TikHub to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
TikHub 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.
