Clear a stale GitHub Actions cache after a release review
Reduce manual cleanup after release reviews by having Notis clear the exact cache key you identify when the run criteria are met.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Outdated or corrupted Actions caches can persist after a release review because nobody remembers the cleanup step.
- Automate a defined cache cleanup step.
- Target a specific cache key and optional Git ref.
- Receive a report of the cleanup run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Calendly and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and provide its name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis which release context and repository cache key should qualify for cleanup.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real release example and a cache key you intend to remove.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow discover every stale cache automatically?
No. The instruction must identify the repository and cache key, and may include a Git ref.
What happens if that cache key is absent?
The GitHub action succeeds even when no matching cache is found.

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.
