Remove a retired investor-work device
Close the loop on a retired device with a specific deletion request tied to your Affinity workflow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Device by ID
Permanently deletes a device, breaking DNS resolution on gadgets using its resolvers.
Why this helps
Retired devices can linger in network controls after the related work or hardware has moved on.
- Act on a device retirement request without searching across tools manually.
- Require the exact device identifier before deletion.
- Send an outcome report after the run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for device retirement.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request and Affinity context to delete a device only when its exact Control D device ID and retirement request are confirmed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and report destination.
- 5Test with one real retirement request and verify the intended device ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow delete devices based on a deal closing alone?
No. The prompt should require an explicit retirement request and confirmed device ID before deletion.
Can a deleted device be restored automatically?
This action deletes the device. The workflow should report the result and should only run when the intended device is confirmed.
