Notis

Clear outdated GitHub Actions caches

Keep builds moving when cache problems start creating repeated failures or confusing local fixes.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Clear repository cache by key

Delete matching Actions caches from a repository.

Why this helps

A stale cache can make a simple build failure feel mysterious and trigger avoidable debugging loops.

  • Reduces cache-related build failures
  • Avoids emergency cleanup sessions
  • Keeps maintenance predictable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub to Notis once through the portal; connect 2chat if you want notifications in WhatsApp.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Use this instruction: Every week, clear the GitHub Actions cache for the specified repository and cache key when it is older than our retention window or known to be corrupted.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and report channel, then test with one approved cache key.

Questions about this workflow

Can this target a specific branch cache?

Yes. Include the repository, cache key, and optional Git ref in the instruction.

How often should cache cleanup run?

Weekly is a practical default, with more frequent checks for high-volume repositories.
