Close downstream event subscriptions when their source document no longer exists.

Trigger

Document Deleted

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.

Action

Delete Resthook Subscription

Tool to delete a specific resthook subscription by id. use after confirming the subscription identifier when the webhook is no longer needed.

Why this helps

Orphaned subscriptions keep monitoring resources that have been deleted.

  • Reduces orphaned subscriptions
  • Keeps monitoring intentional
  • Creates a cleanup report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Affinda in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Deleted source resthook cleanup.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify and delete the linked Affinda resthook subscription after confirming the source document was trashed.
  • 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with a disposable subscription.

Questions about this workflow

What must be known to delete the subscription?

The instruction needs an unambiguous Affinda resthook subscription identifier.

Will unrelated resthooks be affected?

No. Notis should delete only the confirmed linked subscription.
