Notis

Stop wasteful CI runs without breaking your current focus

Drop the repository and run identifier into a Todoist task. Notis cancels the run if GitHub still considers it cancellable.

Trigger

New Task Created

Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.

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

A runaway or obsolete workflow keeps consuming time and resources while you are focused elsewhere.

  • Respond to bad runs from your task queue
  • Avoid another dashboard detour
  • Limit unnecessary CI consumption

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations in Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis to cancel a specific GitHub Actions run when a new Todoist task clearly says to stop it.
  • 3Choose the Todoist task-created trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 4Test against a disposable queued or in-progress workflow run.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis cancel a completed workflow?

No. GitHub only permits cancellation while a workflow is in a cancellable state such as queued or in progress.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant
