Trigger

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 asset links are easy to forget after a review is over.
- Adds a clear end time to temporary image sharing.
- Reduces follow-up to manually retire a preview link.
- Keeps the expiration request with the asset.

- 1Connect Telegram and Imgix to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that applies the requested expiration to shared image URLs.
- 3Select New Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one image URL and a specific expiration time.
