Reset an idle eBay collection when plans change
Use a deliberate slide decision to clear a queue that no longer reflects your research direction.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Clear Collection Requests
Tool to clear all requests from a specified collection. Use when you need to remove all queued requests for an idle collection.
Why this helps
A collection full of outdated requests can keep old assumptions alive and waste future runs.
- Remove outdated queued work in one action
- Keep future runs aligned to the new plan
- Reduce manual request by request cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Countdown api in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for approved collection resets.
- 3Tell Notis to clear all requests from the named collection only when the new slide explicitly calls for a reset.
- 4Pick New Slide Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with an idle collection and an unambiguous reset slide.
Questions about this workflow
Can this clear a running collection?
The action is intended for an idle collection, so Notis should report when the collection is not eligible.
Does it delete the collection itself?
No. It clears queued requests while leaving the collection configuration in place.
