Clear flagged Actions caches from a report
Send Notis the cache finding and let it clear matching cache entries in the specified repository.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Cache cleanup findings in reports can sit idle while someone manually locates the repository and cache key.
- Act on reported cache keys
- Optionally limit deletion to a git ref
- Run cleanup without navigating cache settings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Carbone and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe how to read the repository, cache key, and optional ref from the supplied report.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real cache key and confirm the matching cache cleanup.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if no cache matches?
The GitHub action succeeds even if it finds no matching caches to delete.
Can the report omit the git ref?
Yes. The ref is optional for this action; the cache key is required to identify matches.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Carbone and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
