Turn Semrush validation into a release stop
A failed Semrush validation can trigger Notis to cancel the related queued or running GitHub Actions workflow and report why.
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
Release jobs keep consuming time and attention after an SEO gate has already shown that the build should not proceed.
- Stops doomed workflows before later stages run
- Makes the SEO gate operational rather than advisory
- Reports the cancellation in the channel you already follow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Semrush and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation whose prompt cancels the referenced GitHub Actions run when a Semrush validation payload meets your failure rules.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook trigger and your preferred run-report channel.
- 4Test with a cancellable workflow run and a controlled failed validation.
Questions about this workflow
Which workflow run gets cancelled?
The prompt tells Notis to use the repository and run identifier supplied by your trusted webhook payload.
Can warning-level findings continue?
Yes. Define which Semrush severities cancel the run and which only produce a report.

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