Unstick builds without a cache scavenger hunt
Let failure evidence tell you when a stale cache deserves to go.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Build failures repeat while the founder tries to remember which cache key might be stale.
- Targets cache cleanup based on evidence
- Avoids broad and risky cache deletion
- Shortens repetitive CI investigations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databricks and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to review repeated build failures in Databricks-linked telemetry and clear the matching GitHub repository cache key only when stale cache behavior is indicated.
- 3Choose a scheduled cron trigger and select the reporting channel.
- 4Test with one known corrupted or outdated cache key.
Questions about this workflow
Can the cache be scoped to a ref?
Yes. Include the relevant cache key and optional Git reference in the plain-language instruction.
What happens if no cache matches?
The GitHub action succeeds without deleting anything when no matching cache is found.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Databricks to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Databricks triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
