Retire outdated Botsonic starter questions with a clear decision

When your team confirms in Slack that an existing opening question should be retired, have Notis remove that specific Botsonic starter question by its identifier.

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

Delete Starter Question

Tool to delete a specific starter question by its unique identifier. use after confirming the id of the starter question you want to remove.

Why this helps

Retired prompts remain visible when a decision gets buried before anyone reaches the chatbot settings.

  • Makes confirmed prompt retirement easier to carry through.
  • Keeps opening choices focused on current customer needs.
  • Reduces the mental overhead of tracking a small cleanup task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Botsonic to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction requiring a confirmed retirement decision and the exact existing starter-question identifier before deletion.
  • 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real confirmed retirement request and verify the correct question is gone.

Questions about this workflow

Can this remove a question based on a suggestion alone?

The instruction should require a clear confirmation and the question's identifier before using the delete action.

Does it remove FAQ entries?

No. This action deletes a starter question. FAQ entries are a separate Botsonic resource.
