Clear stale GitHub runner labels on schedule

A clean runner configuration reduces surprises when a build needs to run now.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Clear self-hosted runner org labels

Removes all custom labels from a self-hosted runner for an organization; default labels (e.g., 'self-hosted', 'linux', 'x64') will remain.

Why this helps

Custom runner labels accumulate quietly and make it harder to understand why jobs are routed to a particular machine.

  • Reduce runner-routing confusion
  • Keep infrastructure metadata current
  • Create a repeatable maintenance habit

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Accredible certificates and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a recurring automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it.
  • 3Tell Notis: On the chosen schedule, clear custom labels from the specified self-hosted organization runner and report the result.
  • 4Pick the recurring trigger, select your run-report channel, and test with one runner.

Questions about this workflow

Will default runner labels be removed?

No. GitHub retains default labels such as self-hosted, operating system, and architecture.

Can this target one runner?

Yes. Name the organization and runner in the instruction.

ActionInstant

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.

Accredible certificates and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
