Retire an Algolia index after launch approval

Finish index cleanup when the launch process sends a clear approval.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete Index

Tool to delete the specified index and all its records. use when you need to permanently remove an index after confirming it's no longer needed.

Why this helps

Obsolete indexes linger because cleanup depends on a separate manual step.

  • Closes cleanup loops
  • Removes obsolete indexes
  • Keeps approval context attached

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Slides and Algolia once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Retire approved index.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete only the index explicitly named in an authorized cleanup webhook.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one controlled approval webhook.

Questions about this workflow

Is the deletion reversible?

Deleting an index removes it and its records, so use this only after the approval is explicit.
