Delete Affinda documents with deleted ClickUp tasks
Remove orphaned parsed documents when the source task disappears.
Trigger
Task Deleted
Triggers when a task is deleted. ClickUp ships no history_items or actor info on deletes — the payload carries only the task_id and team_id.
Action
Delete Document
Tool to delete a specific document by its id. use when you need to remove a document that is incorrect or no longer needed, after confirming the document id.
Why this helps
Deleted tasks can leave sensitive document copies with no active owner.
- Reduces orphaned documents
- Keeps source and parsed records aligned
- Verifies identifiers before deletion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Affinda in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reads the stored Affinda document identifier and deletes it only when your retention policy permits.
- 3Pick ClickUp Task Deleted as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports should go.
- 5Test with a disposable document and task.
Questions about this workflow
Can deletion be blocked for retention reasons?
Yes. Instruct Notis to report the task and skip deletion when retention applies.
Where does the identifier come from?
Store the Affinda document identifier in the task description, comment, or other documented reference.
