Clear explicitly selected requests from a cleanup task

Put the collection and exact request IDs in a cleanup task, then let Notis remove that selected set in one call.

Trigger

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a project.

Action

Clear multiple collection requests

Tool to delete multiple requests from a collection by ids. use when you need to remove a selected set of request entries from an existing collection in a single call.

Why this helps

Removing a known set of stale request entries by hand adds busywork and makes cleanup easy to defer.

  • Use a task as the home for an explicit cleanup request
  • Clear a selected set of request entries in one call
  • Keep a run report of the cleanup action

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Asin data api once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to clear only the explicitly supplied request IDs from the named collection.
  • 4Pick New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real cleanup task containing a collection reference and request IDs you intend to remove.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis decide which requests are stale?

This action deletes requests by ID. Supply the exact IDs to clear in the task or prompt; do not rely on an unsupported stale-request detector.

Does the action clear an entire collection?

The action clears multiple request entries by IDs. Specify only the entries you intend to remove.
