Remove superseded requests when research changes
Keep collections aligned with the latest research version by clearing only requests marked for replacement.
Trigger
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Action
Clear multiple collection requests
Tool to delete multiple requests from a collection by ids. use when you need to remove a selected set of request entries from an existing collection in a single call.
Why this helps
Updated research can leave old request entries active alongside the work that replaced them.
- Keeps current and old work distinct
- Uses explicit supersession markers
- Reduces duplicate processing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Asin data api in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Superseded request cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to find the superseded marker in matching documents and clear only the listed request ids.
- 4Pick Document Search Update as the trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Test with one document that marks replaced requests.
Questions about this workflow

Use a consistent label followed by the exact request ids to clear.
