Clear stale GitHub runs before they distract you
Keep the automation queue focused on work that can still move forward.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Cancel a workflow run
Cancel a queued or in-progress workflow run.
Why this helps
Old queued runs create noise and make it harder to see which builds deserve attention.
- Reduces workflow queue noise
- Prevents obsolete runs from consuming attention
- Creates a predictable cleanup habit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Wachete and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Each weekday, cancel GitHub workflow runs that match the agreed stale-run rule and report every cancellation.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one eligible run.
Questions about this workflow
Can I limit cancellation to one repository?
Yes. Name the repository and stale-run rule in the instruction.
Will active runs be canceled?
Only if your instruction explicitly includes them and GitHub reports them as cancellable.
