Keep GitHub maintenance off your memory stack
A small recurring cleanup can prevent a growing pile of stale CI artifacts from becoming a surprise task.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Founders postpone maintenance because it is important, repetitive, and rarely urgent.
- Reduces maintenance backlog
- Keeps CI storage cleaner
- Creates a predictable operating rhythm
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Workday and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with: “On this recurring schedule, clear stale GitHub Actions caches for the repositories in our active Workday operating scope.”
- 3Choose a weekly Notis cron trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 4Test it on one repository before expanding the scope.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require a Workday event?
No. This workflow uses a Notis recurring schedule while still coordinating the two connected systems.
Can I limit cleanup to selected repositories?
Yes. Name the repositories or scope rule in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Workday to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Workday triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
Absence Balance Changed
Triggers when a worker's absence balance changes. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Balance Details Changed
Triggers when details of a specific balance change (quantity, accruals, adjustments, etc.). This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful field changes.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Interview Feedback Submitted or Updated
Triggers when interview feedback is submitted or updated for a specific interview. This trigger monitors a specific interview and fires when new feedback entries are detected or existing feedback is modified.
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.
Job Posting Changed
Triggers when a specific job posting's details change (title, status, posting dates, location, etc.). This trigger monitors a single job posting and fires when any of its fields are modified.
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.
Job Posting Questionnaire Changed
Triggers when a job posting's candidate questionnaire is added or changed. This trigger monitors a specific job posting's questionnaires and detects any changes including additions, removals, or modifications to questionnaires and questions. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
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 Absence Balance
Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.
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.
Workday and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
