Use benchmark results to trigger a targeted cache clear
Review Bench performance on a schedule and clear a named GitHub Actions cache when your rule calls for 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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 or corrupted Actions cache can complicate performance investigation, while clearing caches without a reason can add noise.
- Tie a targeted cache clear to an explicit benchmark rule.
- Specify the repository and cache key to act on.
- Include run reports so cache actions are visible.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bench and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to review the named Bench results and clear the specified repository cache key only when your stated criteria are met.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real benchmark review and the intended cache key.
Questions about this workflow
Can Bench results prove that a cache is corrupted?
No. State the evidence and rule you want Notis to use; benchmark data alone may not establish the cause of a regression.
What does the GitHub action clear?
It deletes repository Actions caches matching the specified key and optional Git ref. It succeeds even if no matching cache is found.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Bench to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
