Clear GitHub Actions caches from a deployment webhook
Let an external deployment signal clean up a known bad cache without manual GitHub navigation.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 corrupted cache is identified by another system, but clearing it becomes a distracting manual task.
- Shortens recovery steps
- Reduces pipeline interruptions
- Keeps cleanup consistent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Write a prompt to clear the specified GitHub cache when your deployment system sends its webhook.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Send one test webhook for a safe cache key.
Questions about this workflow

Webhook trigger

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.
New Member Joined
Triggered when a new member joins a Discord server (guild) you manage.

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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.
New Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
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.
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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.
