Clean up an obsolete async job
Remove a completed or abandoned async job when a device workflow confirms it is no longer required.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Async Job
Deletes an asynchronous conversion job.
Why this helps
Old asynchronous jobs can remain around after a workflow has moved on, making cleanup easy to forget.
- Delete a previously created asynchronous conversion job.
- Trigger cleanup only when a webhook indicates the job is no longer needed.
- Keep cleanup connected to the workflow that created or reviewed the job.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the asynchronous job identified in the webhook request and report the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real job that is no longer required.
