Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Uploaded File

Why this helps
Temporary uploads can be overlooked after processing, leaving unnecessary files in short-lived storage.
- Delete a previously uploaded file from temporary storage.
- Tie cleanup to a webhook request after the file is no longer needed.
- Keep file cleanup separate and explicit in run reports.
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 uploaded file identified by the webhook request once it is no longer needed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real uploaded file that is safe to remove.
