Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Imgix URL Expiration
Tool to append an expiration parameter to an Imgix URL so it returns 404 after a given time. Use when you want the image URL to stop serving beyond a specific UNIX timestamp.
Why this helps
Temporary assets and previews can remain available longer than intended when link cleanup depends on memory.
- Set a clear lifespan for temporary image links.
- Reduce manual cleanup reminders after a campaign.
- Keep preview handoffs more organized.
