Clean stale GitHub caches after course build reviews
Keep course-related builds lighter with maintenance that happens in the background.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Clear repository cache by key
Why this helps
Old build caches accumulate while the founder is focused on course delivery, slowing troubleshooting and consuming storage.
- Reduces stale build artifacts
- Creates predictable maintenance
- Frees attention for delivery work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to clear outdated GitHub Actions caches after each recurring Blackboard course build cycle.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis cron trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one repository cache key and a real course cycle.
Questions about this workflow
Can the cleanup target a specific cache key?
Yes. Include the repository, key pattern, and optional ref in the plain-language instruction.
Will Notis remove unrelated caches?
The instruction can limit cleanup to the repositories and cache keys associated with the course build.
