Clear a stale build cache tied to a CMS release
Use CMS release context to identify a stale GitHub Actions cache and clear the exact key when the release information supports it.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 stale build cache can complicate a content release, and finding the right cache key by hand adds another step.
- Connects release context with targeted cache cleanup.
- Clears the specified cache key and optional ref instead of asking a teammate to find it manually.
- Avoids action when the CMS information does not identify a cache to clear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to review the CMS release information and clear a GitHub Actions cache only when it provides the repository, cache key, and optional ref to clear.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real release record that names a repository and cache key.
Questions about this workflow
Does Agility CMS provide a trigger for content changes?
No Agility CMS trigger event is available in this workflow package. The recurring schedule starts the automation, which then reviews the CMS release information.
What cache details are required?
The request needs to identify a GitHub repository and cache key. A Git ref is optional.
What happens if no matching cache exists?
The GitHub action succeeds even if it finds no matching cache to delete.

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.
