Cancel stale GitHub workflow runs after video releases
Clear outdated automation noise before it steals attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Queued runs from old release work create distracting status checks and uncertainty.
- Reduces noisy run queues
- Keeps current work easier to see
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new scheduled automation in the portal.
- 3Write an instruction to review and cancel only stale runs related to completed video releases, select a weekly schedule and report channel, then test it against one safe run.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis need a field-mapping screen?
No. Put the stale-run rule in the automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Youtube to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Youtube triggers
GitHub actions
New YouTube Activity
Triggers when a new activity is detected on a YouTube channel.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Item in YouTube Playlist
Triggers when a new item is added to a YouTube playlist.
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.
New Playlist in YouTube Channel
Triggers when a new playlist is added to a YouTube channel.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New YouTube Channel Subscription
Triggers when a new channel is subscribed.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Youtube and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
