Cancel an outdated GitHub workflow run automatically
Reduce noisy build notifications and keep attention on the run that matters.
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
Parallel builds create extra alerts and uncertainty about which result to trust.
- Cuts notification noise
- Keeps delivery status clearer
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation with a plain-language cancellation rule.
- 3Choose an incoming Notis webhook trigger.
- 4Pick the channel for run reports.
- 5Send a test webhook for a cancellable noncritical run.
Questions about this workflow
Can it cancel completed runs?
No. GitHub only cancels runs that are queued or in progress.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Spotify to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Spotify triggers
GitHub actions
New Device Added
Triggers when a new device is added.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Spotify Playlist Item Change
Triggers when songs are added to or removed from a Spotify playlist.
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.
New Playlist Created or Deleted
Triggers when a new playlist is created or deleted.
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.
