- Keeps Databox organized
- Makes retirement steps predictable
- Reduces stale reporting clutter
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that confirms the supplied dataset ID and deletes the approved dataset.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Select a report channel and test with a nonproduction example.
Questions about this workflow
Is deletion reversible?
No. Databox dataset deletion is permanent, so the instruction should require explicit approval context.
Can it delete every old dataset automatically?
Only if your instruction supplies an exact approved list or criteria and the run can identify specific dataset IDs.
