Self-Hosted Runner Label Automation
Notis keeps your CI/CD runners labeled and organized on schedule. Every week, new runners get tagged and old labels stay clean.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add org runner labels
Adds new custom labels to an existing self-hosted runner for an organization; existing labels are not removed, and duplicates are not added.
Why this helps
Self-hosted runner configurations drift. Some have outdated labels, others are missing tags entirely. Your CI/CD workflows break or run on wrong runners.
- Keep CI/CD infrastructure organized and consistent
- Prevent workflows from running on wrong runners
- Reduce debugging time for runner-related issues
- Simplify runner decommissioning and scaling
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create a cron automation: "Every Friday at 5pm, scan my self-hosted runners and add labels like 'linux', 'docker', 'high-mem' based on their configuration."
- 3Specify the label rules (e.g., runners with 8GB+ RAM get 'high-mem').
- 4Notis will maintain those labels weekly without manual intervention.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis remove old or wrong labels?
Yes. You can tell Notis to remove stale labels or replace them with new ones.
What if a runner goes offline?
Notis will skip offline runners and only label active ones.
Can I label runners differently by organization?
Yes, if you manage multiple organizations, Notis can apply different tagging rules to each.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
GitHub actions
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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.
