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.

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.
