Close the loop when runners retire
When an infrastructure note retires a runner, Notis clears the labels that could keep it in future routing decisions.
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
Retired build machines remain represented in labels, creating misleading infrastructure signals.
- Prevents stale runner metadata
- Reduces confusion during build failures
- Completes the operational retirement checklist
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outline and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: review approved Outline runner retirement items and clear all custom labels from the named GitHub organization runners, then report the outcome.
- 4Pick a monthly Notis cron trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one retired runner.
Questions about this workflow
Are default labels removed?
No. GitHub keeps default labels such as self-hosted, operating system, and architecture labels.
Can this be limited to approved retirements?
Yes. Require an explicit approved retirement item before taking action.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
Outline and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
