Retire Old Sources Without Forgetting
Every quarter, Notis finds archived newsletters in Goodbits that haven't received data in months and removes them from Segment. Your workspace stays clean and your cost doesn't inflate.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Delete Source
Tool to delete a Segment Source. Use when you need to permanently remove a Source by its ID after confirmation.
Why this helps
Archived sources accumulate in Segment and increase costs, but deleting them manually is rare and easily forgotten. Workspaces become cluttered over time.
- Quarterly cleanup requires zero decisions
- Prevents cost creep from dormant sources
- Automatic, no manual deletion needed
- Keeps workspace clean and organized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Goodbits and Segment are connected to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or via message.
- 3Write the prompt: 'Every quarter on the first day, identify Segment sources that correspond to archived or retired Goodbits newsletters. Remove any source that hasn't received data in 6 months. Send me a list of deleted sources for the record before deletion.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'notis_cron' for quarterly execution (e.g., first day of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct).
- 5Pick your notification channel and test by manually identifying one old archived source and triggering a cleanup to confirm it's removed from Segment.
Questions about this workflow
What if I accidentally archive a newsletter in Goodbits?
Notis waits 6 months before removing the source, giving you time to un-archive it. No data is lost before that window.
Can I exempt certain sources from cleanup?
Yes. List any sources to preserve in your automation prompt and Notis will skip them even if inactive.
Do I lose analytics data when a source is deleted?
No. Analytics data is separate. Notis only removes the source metadata and stops accepting new data.
