Retire an obsolete document workflow from its project task
Keep retirement requests tied to the work that made a document workflow obsolete, with a clear reference to the automation to remove.
Trigger

Action
Delete Automation
Tool to permanently delete an automation and all associated data. Use when you need to remove an automation that is no longer needed. This action cannot be undone.
Why this helps
Retired document workflows can linger because cleanup requests are separated from project decisions.
- Connect a retirement request to its project context.
- Make cleanup instructions explicit and auditable in the task discussion.
- Reduce clutter from obsolete automations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and DocsAutomator once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to delete only the specifically identified DocsAutomator automation when an explicit retirement request appears.
- 3Pick Asana's New Comment on Task trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
