Clean up one stale GitHub Actions cache
Fix a known cache problem without turning storage cleanup into a guessing game.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Corrupted or stale caches can waste time when the cleanup target is not exact.
- Target one exact key and optional ref.
- Require explicit deletion scope.
- Report success even when no matching cache exists.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Insighto ai and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation using the supplied repository, cache key, optional ref, rationale, and deletion scope.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook and a report channel.
- 4Test with one approved stale-cache request and inspect the result.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow clear every cache?
No. It uses only the exact key and optional ref supplied with explicit authorization.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
