Pause nonessential CI when spending needs a closer look
An incoming budget alert can prompt Notis to halt the GitHub runs you designate as safe to pause.
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
It is easy to keep burning build minutes while you are trying to get a surprise expense under control.
- Limits avoidable compute spend
- Creates breathing room for a deliberate decision
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YNAB and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation and select an incoming webhook trigger.
- 3Tell Notis which budget alerts should pause which nonessential workflow runs.
- 4Choose where run reports should arrive.
- 5Send one safe test alert before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Will it cancel every workflow?
No. State in the prompt which repositories and workflow runs are safe to pause.

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.
