Keep self-hosted runner labels trustworthy
Reliable infrastructure starts with labels that still describe reality.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Clear self-hosted runner org labels
Removes all custom labels from a self-hosted runner for an organization; default labels (e.g., 'self-hosted', 'linux', 'x64') will remain.
Why this helps
Stale runner labels can route jobs incorrectly and create hard-to-explain CI behavior.
- Reduces incorrect job routing
- Makes runner configuration easier to reason about
- Removes a low-value maintenance chore
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Sms alert and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to clear custom labels only from the specified organization runner after the agreed maintenance condition is met.
- 4Pick a recurring trigger, choose the channel for run reports, and test with a non-critical runner.
Questions about this workflow
Will default runner labels be removed?
GitHub keeps default labels such as self-hosted, operating system, and architecture.
Should this run frequently?
Use a schedule aligned with infrastructure changes, not an unnecessarily frequent interval.

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.
