Clear stale GitHub Actions cache on a schedule
Offload a small maintenance task that is easy to postpone.
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actions caches from a repository matching a specific `key` and an optional git `ref`, used to manage storage or clear outdated/corrupted caches; the action succeeds even if no matching caches are found to delete.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
A recurring cache problem is known, but clearing it gets deferred during busy delivery weeks.
- Reduces recurring CI friction
- Eliminates a manual chore
- Keeps maintenance predictable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a scheduled automation from Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Write that Notis should clear the specified stale cache key each week, choose the recurring trigger and report channel, then test with the known cache.
Questions about this workflow
Can it target one cache pattern?
Yes. State the repository and cache key you want Notis to clear.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Card Archived Trigger
Triggered when a card is archived in the specified board
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Activity Trigger
Triggered when there is activity in Trello.
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 Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
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 Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
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.
Card Updated Trigger
Triggered when a specific card is updated
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.
