Retirement requests linger because approval and deletion are separated by manual handoffs.

- Reduce stale catalog entries
- Keep the request and decision together
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Altoviz once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Approved product retirement.
- 3Describe that Notis should read the reacted message, verify the exact product to retire, and delete it in Altoviz only when the request is explicit.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5React to one test retirement request to verify the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Is deletion reversible?
The Altoviz action permanently removes the product, so use this only for clearly approved requests.
Can the workflow delete by product number?
The request must provide enough information for Notis to identify the product; do not rely on guessed identifiers.
