Close cancelled research cleanly

A clear cancellation update can cue removal of selected request entries, so abandoned research does not remain mixed with active work.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Clear multiple collection requests

Tool to delete multiple requests from a collection by ids. use when you need to remove a selected set of request entries from an existing collection in a single call.

Why this helps

Cancelled efforts still appear as open requests and compete for attention.

  • Remove selected cancelled requests promptly.
  • Keep active work distinct from stopped work.
  • Turn cancellation into a completed cleanup action.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Asin data api to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in one plain-language instruction how to identify a cancellation and clear only the matching selected request entries.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received and the channel where research decisions are recorded.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one real cancelled research item.

Questions about this workflow

Can it clear several cancelled requests at once?

Yes. The action clears multiple collection request entries by ID.

How can we avoid clearing active work?

State the cancellation criteria clearly in the prompt and test with a real, confirmed cancellation.
