Action

Delete Data Source

Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets.

Why this helps

Unused data sources accumulate and make reporting workspaces harder to navigate.

  • Removes obsolete containers
  • Keeps Databox organized
  • Prevents stale reporting references

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Spotify and Databox once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Deleted Playlist Cleanup.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete the Databox data source linked to a deleted Spotify playlist only when I have supplied and confirmed the source ID.
  • 4Choose New Playlist Created or Deleted as the trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel, test with one real deletion in a safe account, and review the deletion result.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion reversible?

No. Databox marks this operation as irreversible and it removes associated datasets.

Can Notis infer the source ID?

Only if you have supplied a reliable mapping. Otherwise provide the exact source ID before running.
