Clear stale GitHub Actions caches with a scheduled review
Turn cache cleanup into a small scheduled task, with a clear run report when Notis finds a key worth removing.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Old or corrupted caches can waste storage or keep a workflow stuck, while remembering to clean them up adds another maintenance task.
- Reduce manual repository maintenance
- Clear a cache by its specific key, with an optional ref when known
- Get a report of the cleanup attempt
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browseai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then name it and describe the cleanup outcome in one instruction.
- 3Tell Notis which repository and cache key to review; provide an optional git ref if it matters.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cache key and confirm the report identifies the repository and cleanup result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Browseai start this workflow?
Browseai has no listed trigger event for this pair, so a Notis schedule starts the automation. Browseai can provide web data if you describe a relevant source in the prompt.
Does the GitHub action clear every cache?
No. This action deletes caches matching a specific key and optional ref. The prompt should identify the intended repository and key.
Can Notis decide whether a cache is stale?
Notis can assess evidence you provide or data it can retrieve. If no cache age, failure history, or baseline is available, specify the key to clear or supply that evidence.

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.
