Delete foldered Control D rules from Zendesk
Keep organized DNS folders clean when support confirms a rule has reached the end of its life.
Trigger
New Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
Action
Delete Profile Rule in Folder
Tool to delete a specific custom rule within a folder. Use after confirming profile_id, rule_id, and folder_id.
Why this helps
Foldered rules are harder to remove because both the folder and rule must be identified.
- Remove obsolete folder rules accurately
- Preserve profile organization
- Reduce manual lookup work

Questions about this workflow
