Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation named Deleted doc invoice review.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the related invoice and update it with the review status or note you specify when its source document is deleted.
- 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test by trashing one noncritical source document.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete the invoice too?
No. The workflow updates the invoice for review using the Update Invoice action.
What if no invoice match exists?
Tell Notis to report the unmatched deletion instead of making an uncertain update.
