Clear a stale build cache when a change calls for it
Send a change notice and the repository cache details. Notis can review the web context and clear the cache key you specify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
After a dependency or build change, finding and clearing the right stale cache can get lost among other release chores.
- Connect a change review with the requested cache cleanup.
- Avoid manual navigation to clear an outdated or corrupted cache.
- Specify a ref when cleanup should be scoped.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brightdata and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction what change source to review and when to clear the specified repository cache key and optional ref.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real change notice and a cache key you intend to clear.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow find the cache key by itself?
Provide the repository and cache key in the request. The available action deletes caches matching that key and optional ref.
What happens if no cache matches?
The GitHub action succeeds even when it finds no matching caches to delete.
Does the web research alone cause cache deletion?
The request should explicitly identify the cache cleanup to perform. Brightdata supplies no trigger events, so a Notis webhook starts this workflow.

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.
