Clear stale GitHub caches before release day
Make release preparation one less thing to remember at the end of a busy week.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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 build caches create confusing release failures and require a manual cleanup ritual.
- Reduces release surprises
- Protects focus time
- Creates a repeatable routine
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to clear the specified release-branch cache on your recurring schedule.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a run-report channel.
- 5Run one test cleanup before relying on it.

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.
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
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 Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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 Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
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.
