Clear stale GitHub Actions caches found in BrowserAct audits
Turn cache audit findings into a targeted cleanup, using the repository and key supplied in the evidence.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Cache cleanup can be easy to postpone, while deleting the wrong cache key or repository can disrupt useful workflows.
- Focus cleanup on cache keys identified in supplied audit details.
- Avoid repeated manual repository cache checks.
- Keep a report of the repository, key, and optional ref used.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, define how current BrowserAct audit findings are supplied and require a verified repository and cache key before cleanup.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Review one real example and confirm the exact cache key and optional ref before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Does BrowserAct automatically send audit findings on the schedule?
No BrowserAct trigger event or result-fetching action is listed. Specify how current audit findings reach the scheduled review.
Can cleanup target a Git ref?
Yes. The GitHub action clears caches matching a required key and can also use an optional git ref.
What happens if no cache matches?
The action succeeds even when no matching caches are found to delete. Have Notis report the requested key and result.

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.
