Clear GitHub Actions caches on a weekly schedule
Stale build caches pile up until CI gets flaky, and pruning them is a chore you never quite get to. Notis clears the GitHub Actions caches matching your key on a weekly schedule so storage stays lean and builds stay honest.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 GitHub Actions caches accumulate and cause flaky or slow builds, but clearing them manually is a task that never reaches the top of the list.
- CI storage stays lean without a manual pruning chore
- Fewer flaky builds caused by outdated cached artifacts
- A predictable weekly cleanup you never have to remember
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis one time in the portal.
- 2Open Automations in the portal and choose New Automation.
- 3Write it plainly: every week, clear the GitHub Actions caches matching my key on the repository.
- 4Pick a recurring weekly schedule as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Run the automation once to confirm the cache cleanup completes.
Questions about this workflow
What if there are no matching caches?
The action succeeds even when no caches match the key, so the run never fails on an empty result.
Can I limit it to a git ref?
Yes. Your instruction can name an optional ref alongside the key.
Does this need a Jira event?
No. It runs on a recurring schedule, aligned with your weekly cleanup rhythm.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
GitHub actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
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.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
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.
