Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 4Pick the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a disposable file and test rule.
Questions about this workflow
Will every deleted file remove a rule?
No. Instruct Notis to act only when the file has a confirmed linked hostname.
Can the workflow report uncertain matches?
Yes. Tell Notis to report uncertainty and leave the rule unchanged.
