Clear a bad CI cache without breaking focus
Handle a known recovery step from the incident workflow instead of another console.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
A known cache fix can still take attention away from diagnosis and communication.
- Removes a console hop
- Keeps recovery steps documented
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect incident.io and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an incoming webhook automation for approved cache-remediation requests.
- 3Write a prompt telling Notis to clear the specified GitHub Actions cache key for the affected repository.
- 4Choose a reporting channel and test against a disposable cache key.
Questions about this workflow
Will this delete every cache?
No. The prompt should name the cache key and repository scope to clear.

Accept a repository invitation

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.
