Clear outdated GitHub Actions caches on schedule

Keep cache cleanup off your mental checklist and reserve attention for the release itself.

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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 problems are easy to postpone, then painful to diagnose when a build suddenly behaves strangely.

  • Reduces maintenance reminders
  • Helps remove corrupted cache keys
  • Keeps build hygiene routine

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DeepSeek and GitHub to Notis.
  • 2In the portal, create a new automation.
  • 3Describe which old or problematic cache keys DeepSeek should clear in GitHub.
  • 4Set a recurring trigger and select a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one disposable or known-safe cache key.

Questions about this workflow

Can the prompt protect important caches?

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.
