Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Delete Dataset

Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible.

Why this helps

Unused datasets accumulate and make active reporting harder to find.

  • Remove obsolete reporting artifacts
  • Reduce destination clutter
  • Make active datasets easier to find

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 1Password and Databox in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation naming the approved stale dataset and retirement criteria.
  • 3Choose notis_cron for a maintenance window and select a report channel.
  • 4Tell Notis to delete only the explicitly approved dataset after checking the supplied context.
  • 5Test with a nonproduction example and review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion reversible?

No. Dataset deletion is permanent, so the prompt must identify the exact approved dataset.

Can it delete a data source too?

No. Use a separate workflow and explicit approval for data source deletion.
