Notis

Remove a known bad cache as part of the review follow-up

Send the exact cache details with the handoff and clear the matching entry in GitHub Actions.

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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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

A known build issue can linger because cache cleanup gets separated from the review that found it.

  • Tie a known cache cleanup to the review handoff that identified it.
  • Clear only the specified key and optional ref.
  • Report the result without requiring a separate repository visit.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Classmarker and GitHub once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that clears a cache only when the webhook supplies the repository and intended key, plus optional ref.
  • 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real handoff and a cache key safe to clear.

Questions about this workflow

What if the supplied cache key does not exist?

The action succeeds even when no matching caches are found to delete.

Does the action clear all repository caches?

No. It deletes caches matching the specified key and optional Git ref.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Classmarker and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
