Keep GitHub Actions caches under control
Remove stale build baggage before it becomes another debugging session.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Old caches can waste storage and make build behavior harder to reason about.
- Reduces cache clutter
- Supports more predictable builds
- Eliminates a recurring maintenance chore
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docparser and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in conversation.
- 3Use one instruction: clear GitHub Actions caches whose keys or refs match the maintenance criteria found in the parsed records.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select the channel for reports, and test with one disposable cache.
Questions about this workflow
Will it clear every cache?
No. Tell Notis which repository, key pattern, ref, or age threshold is in scope.
When is this most useful?
It is helpful for small teams that want routine cleanup without adding another dashboard to their week.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Docparser to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Docparser 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.
