Clear a GitHub Actions cache when needed
Give Notis the repository and cache key from your cleanup request, and it can clear matching cached data.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Clear repository cache by key
Deletes github actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.
Why this helps
Cache cleanup can become a distracting detour when a stale or corrupted key needs attention.
- Clear caches matching a specific key
- Optionally narrow cleanup with a Git reference
- Keep cleanup requests and reports together
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to GitHub in the portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to clear caches matching the key and optional Git reference in each request for its specified repository.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cache key and repository.
Questions about this workflow
What if no cache matches the key?
The action succeeds even if GitHub finds no matching caches to delete.
Can I specify a branch or Git reference?
Yes. Include an optional Git reference in the request if you want to narrow the cache cleanup.

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