Cancel obsolete GitHub runs when Trello work is archived

Let abandoned work stop consuming build attention.

Trigger

Card Archived Trigger

Triggered when a card is archived in the specified board

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 deprioritized task still leaves a noisy GitHub workflow running in the background.

  • Reduces CI noise
  • Keeps active work easier to spot
  • Avoids needless follow-up

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Trello and GitHub once in the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation for archived work.
  • 3Write that archiving a Trello card should cancel its related cancellable GitHub run, choose Card Archived, pick the run-report channel, and archive a test card.

Questions about this workflow

Does it cancel every GitHub run?

No. Describe the related run and the circumstances in your prompt.

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

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
