Cancel a stuck GitHub Pages deployment
Stop a problematic Pages deployment quickly when waiting for a dashboard is not an option.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Cancel a GitHub Pages deployment
Cancels an existing, ongoing or queued github pages deployment for a repository using its `pages deployment id`.
Why this helps
A bad or hung deployment continues while the founder searches for the right deployment ID and GitHub screen.
- Shortens incident response
- Prevents a bad deployment from lingering
- Provides a direct operational handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Use this instruction: When an authorized 2chat incident request identifies an active GitHub Pages deployment that must stop, cancel that deployment.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one non-production deployment.
Questions about this workflow
Can it cancel any deployment?
Limit the instruction to named repositories and explicitly identified deployment IDs.
Will it roll back the site?
No. It cancels the ongoing or queued deployment; rollback is a separate action.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
2chat and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
