Retire an ActiveTrail group with its Box campaign folder

Close out a campaign's organizing group when its Box folder is retired and the match is explicit.

Trigger

Trashed Folder State Changed

Triggers when a folder's trash state changes in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when its trash state changes (e.g., moved to trash or restored from trash).

Action

Delete group by ID

Tool to delete a group by ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a group from ActiveTrail. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone.

Why this helps

A finished campaign can leave an obsolete group behind after its Box folder is retired, creating more cleanup to remember.

  • Align a retired campaign folder with group cleanup.
  • Reduce reminders for obsolete audience structures.
  • Keep the deletion limited to an explicitly matched group.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language, in any channel or under Automations, New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, define the matching rule between the trashed Box folder and ActiveTrail group, and require an unambiguous match before deletion.
  • 4Pick the Box Trashed Folder State Changed trigger, then choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real retired folder and confirm the exact group before relying on the workflow.

Questions about this workflow

Is group deletion reversible?

The listed action permanently deletes a group and cannot be undone. Use a precise matching rule and review the test run before relying on automation.

Will this delete contacts too?
