Retire approved Databox sources on schedule
Close a reporting container cleanly when an initiative has ended.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Delete Data Source
Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets.
Why this helps
Finished initiatives leave unused data sources that make active reporting harder to navigate.
- Reduces inactive source clutter
- Creates a predictable retirement step
- Makes ownership of cleanup explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that verifies the supplied data source ID and deletes the approved source and its associated datasets.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with a safe example.
Questions about this workflow
What happens to associated datasets?
Deleting a data source also deletes its associated datasets.
Can this be used for uncertain cleanup?
No. The instruction should identify an exact approved data source because deletion is irreversible.
