Document deletions can disappear quietly. ADHD-prone founders and teams need a visible trail and confirmation step.
- Prevent accidental data loss through team acknowledgment
- Create a clear audit trail of deleted projects
- Engage the team in lifecycle decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a Coda document is deleted, send a poll to Telegram asking if this was intentional.' Or set up in Automations.
- 3Select 'Coda Document Deleted' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your team Telegram group for the poll.
- 5Test by deleting a document and check that the poll appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
What happens after people vote?
You can set up a second automation: 'If the poll shows it was a mistake, restore the document.' Notis logs the votes either way.
Can I include more context in the poll?
Absolutely. Tell Notis to include the document name, owner, and last edit date in the poll question.
Does this create any backup of the deleted document?
Notis doesn't restore documents, but it records the deletion and poll outcome. You can pair this with a backup automation.
