Trigger

Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.

Action

Clear Collection Requests

Tool to clear all requests from a specified collection. Use when you need to remove all queued requests for an idle collection.

Why this helps

Idle collections retain queued work that no longer serves a customer or project.

  • Reduce queue clutter
  • Stop obsolete work from lingering
  • Keep collections maintainable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Open Automations, choose New Automation, and name this workflow.
  • 3Tell Notis to clear all requests only from the idle collection explicitly identified and confirmed in the ticket.
  • 4Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one confirmed cleanup ticket and verify the collection identifier.

Questions about this workflow

Does clearing delete the collection?

No. It clears queued requests from the specified collection.

What if the collection is still active?

Ask Notis to report the state and avoid clearing until the ticket confirms it is idle.
