Notis

Clear retired Canva assets without a cleanup marathon

An approved retirement request can remove clutter immediately.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete asset by id

You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetid`. this operation mirrors the behavior in the canva ui. deleting an item moves it to the trash. deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.

Why this helps

Old assets remain available and get reused by mistake.

  • Reduces accidental reuse
  • Keeps libraries cleaner
  • Closes approved cleanup tasks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 0CodeKit and Canva once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation for approved asset retirement.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete the supplied asset id and report the result.
  • 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Send one approved retirement request to test it.

Questions about this workflow

Is the asset permanently erased?

Deleting an asset moves it to Canva trash and does not remove it from designs that already use it.

Can this run from an approval request?

Yes. Use a webhook that is sent only after your retirement decision.
