Clean up obsolete Better Stack source groups when Airtable views disappear
A deleted view can leave related operational organization behind. Have Notis assess whether a source group is truly obsolete, then remove it only when the correct id is confirmed.
Trigger
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Action
Delete Source Group
Tool to delete a source group by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing source group after confirming it is no longer needed.
Why this helps
Leftover source groups can clutter operations, while deleting one without confirming its purpose or id can remove organization the team still needs.
- Prompt a cleanup review when a view is removed.
- Reduce clutter from source groups that are confirmed to be obsolete.
- Keep deletion conditional on a known id and confirmed need.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome: review related Better Stack source groups and delete one only if it is confirmed obsolete and its id is known.
- 4Pick the Airtable View Deleted trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deleted view and verify the candidate group is safe to remove.
Questions about this workflow
Will the deleted view event identify the Better Stack source group id?
Not necessarily. The event is about an Airtable view; provide or obtain the Better Stack id from available context before deletion.
Can this remove a source group automatically whenever a view is deleted?
A view deletion does not establish that a Better Stack source group is obsolete. Instruct Notis to delete only after confirming both obsolescence and the id.
