Handle approved GitHub cache resets from one maintenance queue
Add cache reset requests to a filtered sheet view and let Notis clear the matching key, with the optional Git ref, in GitHub.
Trigger
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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A broken or outdated cache can stall delivery, while the exact cleanup command and repository context are easy to lose between conversations.
- Speeds up response to corrupted caches
- Preserves cache keys and refs in a visible request log
- Avoids another trip through repository settings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect the maintenance spreadsheet and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and select an operations reporting channel.
- 3Write: "When an approved cache-reset request appears in this filtered range, clear the matching GitHub Actions cache key and listed ref."
- 4Choose Filtered Range Values Changed and test with a harmless cache key.
Questions about this workflow
What if no cache matches the key?
GitHub treats the cleanup as successful even when no matching cache exists.
Can I target one branch?
Yes. Include a Git ref in the request and mention in the prompt that it should be used when present.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
GitHub actions
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
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.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Google Sheets and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
