Remove a custom field after a clear review
Make a confirmed field retirement decision easier to carry out by identifying the exact custom field in the review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Field
Permanently deletes a custom field and all its associated data from a list.
Why this helps
Unused fields accumulate over time, while manual cleanup is easy to defer and easy to get wrong.
- Act on an explicit field retirement decision.
- Identify the exact field before deletion.
- Keep a run report of the cleanup attempt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for custom field review.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to delete a field only when the parsed review explicitly marks that exact field as unused and approved for removal.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one review record for a field confirmed as unused.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action preserve data stored in the field?
No. Deleting a custom field removes the field and its associated data. Use this only for a field confirmed for removal.
Can the workflow identify an unused field on its own?
No. The parsed record or instruction must supply the review decision and exact field identity.
