Retire Old Sources Automatically
Set a schedule and Notis removes Segment sources for archived Goodbits newsletters. No manual cleanup, no decision fatigue.
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
Old archived sources sit in Segment indefinitely, cluttering your workspace and costing money. Deciding when and what to delete causes decision paralysis.
- Removes sources on your predefined schedule
- No manual decisions each time
- Reduces Segment workspace bloat
- Cost control through cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Goodbits and Segment to Notis.
- 2Go to Automations and create a new workflow, or tell Notis.
- 3Write the prompt: 'On the last day of each quarter, identify all Segment sources tied to Goodbits newsletters that were archived more than 3 months ago and haven't received data. Delete those sources. Send me a summary before deletion for record-keeping.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'notis_cron' for quarterly execution.
- 5Pick your notification channel and test by identifying one old source and manually triggering a deletion to confirm it's removed from Segment.
Questions about this workflow
What if I archived a newsletter by mistake?
Notis waits 3 months before deletion. You have time to un-archive it if needed.
Can I choose which sources to delete?
Yes. Provide a list of sources to always preserve in your prompt, and Notis will skip them.
Does this affect my analytics history?
No. Historical data remains intact. Notis only removes the source definition and stops accepting new data.
