Retire an outdated address message category
When an approved process update identifies a category as obsolete, remove it from the project message types.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Message Type
Permanently delete a message type from a project.
Why this helps
Old categories make it harder to choose the right label for current address work.
- Reduce confusion from outdated categories.
- Keep message organization aligned with supplied process updates.
- Make the current category choices easier to scan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addressfinder and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to delete only the message type explicitly identified in a submitted, approved process change as obsolete.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved change and confirm the intended category is removed.
Questions about this workflow
Is deleting a message type reversible?
The listed action permanently removes the specified message type. Use it only when the submitted update explicitly identifies the category for removal.
Does Addressfinder provide message categories?
No. The Addressfinder context does not list message types. This workflow uses an external webhook request carrying the Basecamp category identifier and process context.
