Stop stale deployment work before it creates more noise
When the store direction changes, let old automation stand down.
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
Queued workflows keep running after a Shopify deployment has been superseded, creating noise and making the real state harder to understand.
- Reduces irrelevant build activity
- Keeps deployment status clearer
- Prevents manual cleanup after changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Shopify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: During each deployment review, compare the current Shopify deployment context with active GitHub runs and cancel runs that are clearly obsolete.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select the run-report channel, and test with one known stale run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel every active run?
No. The instruction should limit cancellation to runs clearly superseded by the current Shopify deployment.
Can it report what it leaves running?
Yes. Ask Notis to include a short summary of retained and canceled runs.

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

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.
