Clear stale GitHub Actions caches during maintenance
Keep routine CI cleanup in a predictable window so cache problems do not hijack your workday.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
Cache failures create confusing CI noise and tempt founders into ad hoc troubleshooting.
- Reduces recurring cache noise
- Protects focused work
- Keeps maintenance predictable
- Helps recover from corrupted builds
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Calendarhero and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: During the scheduled Calendarhero maintenance window, clear stale or corrupted GitHub Actions caches for the repositories and keys I specify.
- 4Choose a recurring trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with one safe cache key.
Questions about this workflow

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.
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.
Calendarhero and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
