Auto-Cancel Outdated Workflows on Task Completion
When work is done in Salesforce, Notis cancels any stale or waiting workflows in GitHub so your CI/CD queue stays clean. Stop workflows from running after you've already moved on.
Trigger
Task Created or Completed
Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.
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
Old workflow runs pile up, consuming CI/CD resources and cluttering your GitHub runs dashboard long after the work is done.
- Keep your GitHub Actions queue clean and focused
- Free up CI/CD runners by canceling outdated workflows
- Avoid wasted build time on already-completed work
- Reduce billing costs from unnecessary workflow runs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and GitHub to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a task is marked complete in Salesforce, cancel any queued or running workflows in GitHub for that feature'
- 3Link task names or IDs to specific GitHub workflows
- 4Choose where to see cancellation confirmations
- 5Test by completing a task in Salesforce with a queued workflow in GitHub
Questions about this workflow
Will this delete the workflow run history?
No, it only cancels in-progress or queued runs. The history remains for auditing.
What if there's no workflow to cancel?
Notis will check and find nothing to cancel—the automation succeeds silently.
Can I cancel only specific workflow types?
Yes. Ask Notis to specify which workflows to target (e.g., only PR validation, not deployment).

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Salesforce to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Salesforce triggers
GitHub actions
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
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.
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Lead Trigger
Triggers when a new Lead is created in Salesforce.
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.
New or Updated Opportunity
Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.
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.
Task Created or Completed
Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.
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.
