Clean up BigML projects after source documents are deleted

Removing the source document can prompt a careful project cleanup.

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 Project

Tool to delete an existing project. use when you need to permanently remove a project resource after confirming it is not in use by other resources.

Why this helps

Abandoned BigML projects remain clutter when their source documents are no longer needed.

  • Reduces stale project clutter
  • Connects source lifecycle to analysis lifecycle
  • Adds a deliberate cleanup checkpoint

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and BigML in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for deleted source documents.
  • 3Describe that when a linked document is deleted, Notis should inspect the related BigML project and delete it only if no longer in use.
  • 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger and choose a report destination.
  • 5Test with one disposable document and project.
