Clear a named GitHub Actions cache on schedule

Automate a targeted cache cleanup when a known key has become outdated or corrupted.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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

A forgotten cache cleanup can become another maintenance task competing with focused work.

  • Schedule a targeted cache cleanup
  • Avoid repeated manual maintenance steps

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveCampaign and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to clear the specified cache key in the named repository, optionally using the supplied git ref.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a key intended for deletion and confirm the report.

Questions about this workflow

What does the cleanup remove?

It deletes repository GitHub Actions caches matching the specified key and optional git ref. It succeeds even if none match.

Can it clean every cache?

This action requires a specific key and supports an optional ref. Set the instruction to target only the intended cache.

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.
