Close the loop after an entry retention review

When your retention process confirms a specific record for removal, carry that decision into Formdesk with its exact entry reference.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete Formdesk Entry

Tool to delete a specific entry from a Formdesk form. Use after confirming the target entry exists.

Why this helps

A confirmed cleanup task can linger when it requires another manual search and a separate follow-through step.

  • Connect a completed retention review with its follow-up action.
  • Reduce the chance that confirmed cleanup work is forgotten.
  • Use an explicit record reference to focus the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect FileToPDF.dev and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to handle confirmed retention removals.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to delete only the specific Formdesk entry identified by an approved retention request and supplied record ID.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a safe test entry and verify the intended record is removed.

Questions about this workflow

Will it decide which records to delete?

No. The retention review must identify the specific entry and authorize its removal before the webhook request.

What details are needed?

The instruction needs the form ID and exact entry ID for the confirmed record.
